Sofiia Kharenko

I find beauty in the nature. Its energy surrounds and fills us . That is why my paintings is a small natural world.
I was born in Ukraine. I attended art school in my hometown from 6 to 14 years old. I studied philology in Ukraine after graduating from high school. Then I studied culture and media relations in Poznan, Poland.
Now I live in the heart of Roztocze National Park, where thanks to the ecological system of nature conservation, the primary flora and fauna of the region has been preserved. It is amazing when for tens of kilometers around you there is no factory, but only virgin nature. In my mind it is essential for people to live in harmony with nature. And this directly translates into my paintings. I try to show how beautiful it is.
I create these moments on a cotton canvas using oil paints and brushes.
During the long creative search in many styles, I chose realism as the main one.
