"Cows looking for pineapples" Painting

After graduating from the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, I experimented a lot with various media and materials, including enamel, ceramics, glass, decorative putty, foam plastic, epoxy resin, and more. Still, in recent years, I have mainly worked with traditional media, such as oil and acrylic paintings.
As an artist, I am mainly interested in portraying the naked human body in its natural form, stripped of clothing and regalia, and in complete harmony with nature, sensual and enticing. I also like working on minimalistic landscapes, trying to capture the elusive tranquility and greatness of the sky, as well as optical effects typical of early morning or evening when the sun has just risen or set.
Music plays a significant role in my life and is a continuation of my oeuvre. For many years, I’ve been a bass guitarist for the Ukrainian indie band Blake Maloka. Music of the 1960s, especially jazz music with its complex structure and rhythm, strongly resonates with my recent abstract works — as both imply an unhurried and thoughtful approach.
