Artist statement

As an artist, I believe that art is a positive-energy system that heals and uplifts and does not ignore ​people's problems. I strive to create ethereal and sonorous strokes that capture the elusive amorphous ​moment and invite viewers to reflect on self-healing.

Through my art, I hope to expand the audience's awareness that human life is short, and it is essential ​to create beauty every moment to live as if it were the last.

My art has been a tool of Ukrainian culture diplomacy. For the first time in the history of the country ​Ukrainian works were selected by the jury of the Design and Watercolor Salon (2017–2018) to be shown at ​the Grand Palais National Museum in Paris, where it was my works that were selected and exhibited. ​Further I exhibited at the Autumn Salon of Latin America (2016) in São Paulo, Brazil. I have also exhibited ​at the largest art exhibition in the world, Art Expo New York (2017), and represented the series entitled ​“Ukrainian Identity”. In addition, I am the recipient of the Honoured Artist of Ukraine award, given to me by ​the President of Ukraine in 2017.

My artwork draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the world, philosophical texts, Ukrainian ​identity and have been incorporating findings of my own theoretical searches for identity and memory. My ​paintings feature Ukrainian symbols referencing many periods in history in an abstract style utilizing colours ​generally with warm tones. Within this context I explore themes of life, death, good and evil, peace, ​equality, mutual understanding, harmony, catharsis, and memory. Beyond this, I also create realistic ​architectural landscapes that connect the identity of society, landscape, depicting the memory of the city.

Recently, I moved to Toronto. With every stroke, I aim to create art that is bears goodness and light. I ​believe that every moment is unique and can never happen again, and every lost life is irreversible. ​Therefore, I hope that my art, within the brevity of time, can offer a moment of reflection and self-healing for ​the viewer. Let us save memory, stop violence, and end war.
