I was born in Ukraine in the city of Zhytomyr. After the Kharkov State Art School in 1986 she worked in the Zhytomyr Regional Music and Drama Theatre. I. Kocherga for the position of head of the decoration shop. At the same time, I worked in a fashion studio as an artist-designer of clothes, and in my free time I was engaged in restoration and independently restored icons on a charitable basis in local churches. Since 1989, I began to work in the direction of sacred art and became the initiator of the creation of a family icon-painting workshop. Later, an icon painting school was organized. The method I taught was effective and different from the traditional. The classes were based on a deep study of the works of ancient icon painters, in the best traditions of sacred art, using constructive drawing, plastic anatomy combined with rhythms. In fact, icon painting is a very responsible occupation and requires too much effort. When you paint an icon, you face such tasks as conveying through the image of transcendence, lack of passion, anonymity of the author. And the difficulty lies in the fact that the icon, like no other work, shows all the imprints of the artist's mood and his emotional state. Later, the vector of my work changed dramatically, but an indelible trace of icon-painting rhythms remained on it. Rhythm affects us on a subconscious level. Rhythm as a visualization, as a reflection of interaction. In everything there is interaction, its circle is determined by the range of rhythm. The thought comes as a touch... and the picture becomes a prophecy. A prophecy about your inner states and family events... A prophecy of social cataclysms... and terror... And sometimes the result does not correspond to the original plan.... and I feel that the hand sometimes obeys some kind of Energy. Thus, the picture shows a premonition of sadness https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Presentiment/977315/4631680/view, who synthesized in himself personal grief - the death of his father and a public tragedy and the beginning of the war in Ukraine. The same premonition of war was the image of Hitler https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Hitler/977315/4631783/view and graphic works: harsh https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Drawing-Abstraction-Hitler -Severe-inevitability/977315/4685052/view and Malocclusion and bulging eyes https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Drawing-Malocclusion-and-bulging-eyes/977315/4685086/view.
