  • Biography

       Art awakens a mystery without which the world would not want to exist.

       For a long time, I tried to find myself in art, to find my individuality, which would inspire me and embody my fullness as an artist and, at the same time, carry my authenticity. And when events happened that turned my life "upside down", at some point the symbol of the hands itself became not only special for me, I simply found the meaning I was looking for in it. And this is natural because the symbol of hands is one of the strongest, most ancient, and most mysterious in the world.

       My first images of hands were painted in acrylic and symbolized unity. The idea and the technique coincided and harmoniously combined so much that I continued to paint only with acrylic. But most importantly, I found a powerful response to the image of hands in my heart, as if I opened a secret door to their symbolic depth and secret spirituality. I looked at them in a new way and saw not just a unique part of the human body that is interesting to draw. I was able to understand the embodiment of a symbol of strength, faith, and hope in them. Each line, each slope... While drawing my hands, I am filled with these incredible energies. This is what I want to share through my creativity. So that everyone can see and feel their meaning and the energy they symbolize, becoming part of its community.

    Event: Inner World - 1st Edition

    Dates: 8 Mar 2024 - 12 Mar 2024

    Venue: Boomer Gallery, 150 Tooley Street, SE1 2TU, London

    This year, we are focusing more on the mysterious world of the creator, the artist- slave and God at the same time, a slave of deep thoughts and the absolute God of his creation.

    What does one feel looking at an artwork, something that was created out of nothing?

    Do we absorb the immediate visual impact and stop there, or maybe we go further and contemplate in our mind- who is the artist, how fiercely they love, what do they feel in the moment of creation- struggle, joy, despair, what’s their inner world?

    The artist is the eye of our own imaginations, the God that turns something immaterial and without logic into something that we can see, touch, smell, and contemplate about.

    This exhibition seeks to transcend the visual boundaries of art, inviting the viewer into the mysterious inner sanctum of its creator.

    Event: Volunteers in the fight for life and freedom

    Dates: 17 Aug 2023 - 17 Oct 2023

    Venue: “Pritličje” Town Square, Ljubljana, Slovenia

    With the exhibition "Volunteers in the battle for life and freedom", UARTIST, the international community of Ukrainian artists, aims to raise the visibility of ordinary and yet extraordinary people and to pay tribute to their contribution to the struggle for the victory of life and freedom. The authors of the artworks are Ukrainian artists living in Ukraine or having Ukrainian roots.

    Event: Power

    Dates: 31 May 2023 - 30 Jun 2023

    Venue: Artwork Gallery, 3D international exhibition

    In this exhibition, we seek to explore what Power is.
    Is it a physical meaning, or is strength something internal?
    Does being strong mean having an advantage over someone and being the first, or is it about willpower when a person has almighty patience and goes step by step to his goal?
    Does power have gender, man’s superiority over nature, or do time and age affect power?

    Everyone has their own truth. Let’s think about the meaning of power and show our own vision in this exhibition!

Biography

   Art awakens a mystery without which the world would not want to exist.

   For a long time, I tried to find myself in art, to find my individuality, which would inspire me and embody my fullness as an artist and, at the same time, carry my authenticity. And when events happened that turned my life "upside down", at some point the symbol of the hands itself became not only special for me, I simply found the meaning I was looking for in it. And this is natural because the symbol of hands is one of the strongest, most ancient, and most mysterious in the world.

   My first images of hands were painted in acrylic and symbolized unity. The idea and the technique coincided and harmoniously combined so much that I continued to paint only with acrylic. But most importantly, I found a powerful response to the image of hands in my heart, as if I opened a secret door to their symbolic depth and secret spirituality. I looked at them in a new way and saw not just a unique part of the human body that is interesting to draw. I was able to understand the embodiment of a symbol of strength, faith, and hope in them. Each line, each slope... While drawing my hands, I am filled with these incredible energies. This is what I want to share through my creativity. So that everyone can see and feel their meaning and the energy they symbolize, becoming part of its community.
