Artist Statement:
My drawings and paintings are
portraits and self-portraits
mostly.
It could be acrylic paintings
or watercolors, drawings or
prints.
Maybe even computer graphics.
But it’s always women faces,
which looks often just like
ancient stone goddess in the
steppes of my native Southern
Ukraine.
Sometimes those women faces
remind masks, sometimes -
vases with flowers.
Often they build from
monumental and heavy stone
blocks or metal stripes of
different colors.
They are standing in the water
or on the ground.
Sometimes they are flying out
of space and time.
Those women are mystic
objects. They are goddesses to
worship.

| Biggest Artistic Inspiration |
I was about five or six years old when I saw the Radzivill Chronicle miniatures at first time.
This East Slavic manuscript influenced my life very much. Of course, I am not Nestor the Cronicler. But I'm still trying to write tales and paint pictures. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Because it is such a pleasure and fun to paint! It makes me happy. And I feel even more happy, when I'm trying to be a writer. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I am a freelance fine artist from Ukraine. Now I am a permanent
resident of the U.S. and live in California.
I have shown interest in art since I was a child.
I was trained as a traditional realist.
But we live in the world, which is constantly changing.
One day you feel that you can't paint in your realistic manner any more.
So you are trying to develop some kind of your own art language.
My language of symbols, colors and lines is not always clear, perhaps.
But I am trying to improve it constantly.
