I truly believe that creation should elevate us—it should reach toward something greater. For me, it’s not just about making something visually beautiful; true creation must also hold emotional and spiritual depth. I see art as a bridge between the aesthetic and the spiritual—something that speaks not only to the eyes, but to the heart and soul. When an artist approaches their work with both skill and integrity, I believe anyone has the ability to truly see art—not just through their eyes, but through the mind and spirit, where it can offer insight and even answers from within.

Sincerely,

Deep into the creative process

I’m creative person, who started to master the art of watercolour, drawing and sculpture in late 1998. I studied art for 6 years in art school of Drawing, Sculpting and History of art, named after Munkácsy Mihály, in my birth town. My goal here was that through the study of antiquities and the masters of the past, one would develop and refine one’s artistic taste.

In 2004 during one year I was lucky to have private full time training in academic drawing and classical still life with artist R. Dorozhnikova.After, in 2005, I continued 5 years in studies in King Danylo University of Design & Architecture in Ukraine.

During all this time I realized that there is nothing stronger than the power of a dream. Find time for it. Let there always be a place for a dream in every heart!

I tend to use vivid colour palettes and intricate details in my paintings, which often explore themes of human connection, nature, and identity. My style could be described as a blend of realism and abstract expressionism—there’s a sense of form and composition that remains grounded in reality, but the use of colours, shapes, and brushwork leans toward abstraction. This gives my works a dynamic feel, as though the subject matter is both grounded and fluid at the same time.

My art isn’t just about what you see—it’s about how it makes you feel and what it stirs inside you.
