Formally trained in easel painting and academic drawing at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, one of Ukraine's oldest and most prestigious art institutions. After graduating, I expanded my creative practice through decorative commissions, photography work and also painted dresses for fashion shows and exhibitions. My style merges expressive figurative painting, surreal symbolism and decorative elements. I compose scenes with bold contrasts, using deep blues, fiery reds, luminous pinks and yellows, infused with touches of gold and silver for light, depth and timelessness. Although I was an established artist back in Ukraine, I have lost all my previous work as I had to leave it all behind. I am now starting again after 3 years of silence I have now gained back my confidence to create once again and celebrate strength, resilience, beauty and vibrance through my work. I use my happiest of memories from my past and my new found discoveries and positive hopes for the future to make art that inspires, uplifts and connects to my new audience.
