My name is Valera Hrishanin, I was born in Ukraine, I used to go in for sports, I especially liked to play basketball and my childhood dream was to become a famous athlete, but later doctors discovered I had a neurological disease, after that I could no longer play sports and plunged into a deep depression.

I was looking for what to do for a long time, and then I accidentally decided to try to draw, and I felt as if the acquired the meaning of life, I began to devote more and more time to drawing, and my first works were done in pencil in a notebook.

Over time, my ability to draw increased, which was a surprise for my family and friends, and I organized my first solo exhibition in my hometown of Dykanka.

I also took part in various TV talent shows, in Ukrainian and other countries, and I won some of them, I learned to draw with both hands at the same time and this became recognition and title for me.

I like to experiment and use new techniques to create my artworks, my artworks are in private collections of famous people and many other people around the world.

I carefully select shades for my future works, and in this way I reflect the intended meaning.

My signature is a little jumping monkey, but sometimes I can use another signature, the infinity sign.
