"Winter Cheremosh" from the series "my beautiful Ukraine" Print

Playing with textures and visual effects, where textiles turn into brush strokes, has become my calling card. I like to call my works "three-dimensional" because my works combine painting, sculpture and craft. In my work I am looking for ways to recreate the feeling of natural textures. I try to recreate emotional feelings from contemplation of objects around us by using wool threads. My works are abstract, at first glance, but if you take a proper look you will discover many elements of real world. There are bright fresh spring green leaves, streams of icy water and warm sunlight. In my works I try to convey the textures of objects in the light and air environment, but at the same time I do not depict them, I do not focus on their materiality. Instead, I use non-pictorial materials for this sensory impression. I emphasize the idea that the world is essentially dualistic, everything in it is connected by invisible ties, everything is connected with everything. The world of abstract forms and theories is the embodiment of the physical world, and vice versa.
