Bio: Hailing from Ukraine, my journey intertwines art, law, and management. Trained at Borshchiv Art School, I pursued a Master's in Law and an MBA in Kyiv, eventually ascending to leadership roles in Ukrainian organizations. Despite my professional path, art has always been my sanctuary, especially amid the chaos of Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Art for me is not just expression; it's meditation—a practice I've embraced for 15 years. My work on any piece of art begins with this meditative state, a journey into thoughtless awareness that permeates my work. My recent series, "Liberation," epitomizes this fusion of thoughtless awareness and creativity. Crafted from homemade pigments and unconventional materials like sindoor and kumkum, each piece in "Liberation" celebrates womanhood's resilience and empowerment. "Liberation" isn't just about individual beauty; it's a collective anthem of strength and solidarity. Through each stroke, I seek to evoke emotions and qualities unique to every woman, advocating for their empowerment in society. My art delves deep into the essence of humanity, particularly womanhood. It's a reflection on what brings inner tranquility and what fuels our struggles, offering a beacon of hope in turbulent times. My goal is simple: to inspire viewers to confront radicalism, embrace empowerment, and emerge with a renewed sense of vigor and purpose, to help the viewer in his journey to find true self! In essence, my artistic journey is a testament to the transformative power of creativity—a journey that transcends borders, celebrates diversity, and helps to find a real essence, a Spirit within.
