Biography
Feeling of water and light
I am a watercolor artist from Kyiv. Through my works I strive to tell about the beautiful world around me, to share with others what I feel and love.
Watercolor is mobile and unpredictable, it fascinates me to give it freedom on the sheet and let it be my co-author. The brightness and transparency of watercolors are well suited for conveying emotions and feelings, which is why I chose this material. In my art I strive to find a balance between depicting recognizable forms and abstraction, between soft shimmers of free fillings and bright thick accents. Painting sounds like music to me, and in each watercolor study I want to convey the melody of the moment.
Flowers and plants inspire me a lot. They change every moment: a new flower blooms, the shade of the petals becomes different.... They are so delicate, fragile and yet full of strength and life. I love to observe and reflect this marvelous life in my paintings. Painting a blossoming flower, it is as if I am catching a moment of eternity on my sheet.
I also had an architectural education, maybe that's why I like to draw cities, buildings and architectural details.I was a friend of Royal Talens brand and represented them as an artist at the exhibition "World of Stationery" in Kiev. In 2017-19 I hold master classes in Ukraine and teach in art studios.
My watercolor paintings have found their way into various private collections around the world, from USA to UK, Israel, France and other countries.
