Born and raised in Kyiv until the age of 10, I was immersed in creativity from an early age. My father worked as an artist, and my mother worked at an art school—so art was a constant presence in my life. Naturally, I gravitated toward graphic design, blending structure with imagination.

Everything changed when my oldest son was diagnosed with blood cancer at the age of 3. That life-altering moment reshaped my creative path. In the quiet, painful hours of uncertainty, I turned to art not just as expression, but as survival.

It was during that time I developed my signature low-poly technique, crafting portraits and imagery using only triangles. Each piece became a mosaic of emotion, precision, and resilience—fractured shapes coming together to form something whole, intentional, and beautiful.

My work is both deeply personal and universally resonant: a visual testament to transformation, to turning pain into purpose, and to finding beauty in brokenness.

Today, I continue to explore the tension between chaos and control through geometry—always guided by the belief that art has the power to heal.
