About The Artist


All my paintings I write in the direction of naive art, creating my works with a palette knife and oily paints on canvas.. I love to write streetscape, landscape and interior Ukrainian folk art. I like to be a spectator of life outside, in the street ... . Painting has been with me since childhood. My grandfather and his brothers are artists. They showed me how beautiful is painting.I finished KNU named by Taras Shevchenko, Institute of Philology, specialty philologist of Ukrainian language, literature and folklore. I firmly decided to link my life with art. . I've always been charmed of paintings by Renoir, Van Gogh, Modigliani, Tamara de Lempicka, Frida ... They are all different, but at the same minute they drew my views to themselves. And at one moment I realized that these artists have become for me as a teachers. The first pictures I wrote with a brush, but then I felt that I want that pictures came out from canvas, so I started to work with a palette knife. .Sometimes my pictures I see in dreams, then I wake up in the night and go to the workshop. Many of the works I write in nature, in the middle of the town,in the sea ... Sometimes I write those places that I remember from childhood, these works are particularly strong energy, they are imbued with warmth and joy. In each of my painting I put a great flow of energy, in fact believe that this energy will be emitted in the future. . My family is very versatile, we are the organizers of the International Motor Festival "Uman 5 roads", which in 2015 averaged 5 000 visitors. And in 2005 I became a master of sports in judo, dedicating it for 8 years. And each of them, festivals, my family, life inspires me every day. But there is also a little muse, my daughter, Zlata, it leads me to new horizons and inspire for a new and better pictures.
