I was born in 1962 in Kiev, and in the early 2000s, my family and I relocated to Sligo, Ireland. Sligo is one of the most beautiful counties in Ireland, and its natural surroundings inspired me, opening a new chapter in my artistic journey.

I graduated from Atlantic Technological University with a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art in 2021. Observing nature and witnessing the changes in the landscape and seascape—regardless of the conditions—evokes a sense of worry in me, which I perceive as sublime.

I express my emotions and feelings through various media, including oil, acrylic, charcoal, and pencil, as well as prints, using stretched canvas and Fabriano paper. My creations range from realistic to abstract paintings, drawings, and prints. I work with a range of canvas sizes and a vibrant palette, allowing my intuition to guide me through the creative process.

In my work, I strive to keep the message simple and understandable. I particularly enjoy painting still life, flowers, and landscapes throughout the year's seasons.
