Lider.
Freedom of creative search, experience of knowledge of human passions - that's what the years of work in theater gave me. Mystical ethno-romanticism and Ukrainian pop-art, that is how I defined my niche of art, which is close to me now. I consider myself a Ukrainian artist not in the formal sense, but in essence.
