Volcanic Islands Odyssey Print

I was born in 1977 in Kiev, Ukraine. Art has always been around me whole my life. I am professional dancer, photographer and artist in one person. I took paintbrush in my hand for the first time back in 2012 and it was for me like a step into a whole new universe that totally surrounded me. My heart has opened and since than I have never stopped painting. My inspiration comes from deep inside my heart, where I have a source of light, colors and beauty.

My favorite drink of course, recently very popular all over the world. Not only that I love the variability of this drink, taste and appearance, but also it helped to reduce usage of plastic straws in cocktails as the new way of serving in the copa glass should always go without the straw. ​ The third category is WORLD AROUND. Obviously, you can see my love to the ocean as it appears in many of my paintings. Always when I am traveling, I am inhaling the surroundings that I bring home to my studio and it goes straight away on canvas. ​ Next category is GINA FENIX. Here I paint myself in various situations. Some paintings from different categories could belong to this category too. For example “Welcome To Holiday Resort Plastic Ocean” or “You are Gin to my Tonic” ​ The last category is CITY OF WATER. The recipe to this category is: 1 part of Spirituality, pinch of Magic, large dash of Nature, touch of Galaxy, big portion of Soul. All gently stirred in a large saucepan of Universe…
