"flower of freedom" Fine Art Print

I am a painter from Ukraine. I have always been painting, and when I was 14 years old I was admitted to college to a designer-artist program in the city of Ternopil, Western Ukraine. I’ve been trying to find myself in various creative fields. I designed logos, I took photos, I created and sewed toys, I made interior decor, I worked in the office, I worked hard in a cloth factory, I sculpted, I drew illustrations, I made jewelry, I wrote poems and books. During that time, I gained a lot of different experience, and I realized that finally I am an artist, a painter. And in this difficult time I want to create, and I want to pass on to others my experience, my emotions, my world, my thoughts, my inside energy. All the knowledge from all those different fields can be combined and a new creation can be made.
For right now, I paint with acrylics and oils.However, I want to combine different textures, styles and techniques in the future. Such as using threads, clay, glass and various plastic paints. In my artwork I use a lot of symbols, signs, hyperlinks to world’s events, my thoughts, my poems, or songs and poems that inspire me. In my artwork I talk about my experience, my pain, and about the situation that is going on in my country, and what my country is going through. I have art about the inner human light in the darkness, or about the severe depressive periods in my life, or about the brutal bloody war in my country. About betrayal, depression, acceptance and self love. Also, I like to use realistic elements in between of vague strokes, images and words.
