Artist statement.
Part 1. My method.
When I am working on a
painting, I observe that the
space of a painting starts to
deflect my initial idea and
prompts me to the new and
unexpected ways. The painting,
in fact, starts managing the
process of creating itself and
complicating my original idea.
For example, I have started
another painting and pictured
something. Now I try to
grope for further shapes and
colors, and then I intend to
picture, let’s say, a flower.
And it happens as this: I’ve
had an idea about how to
picture the flower and I begin
doing that according to my
plan. Then I suddenly see that
the painting rejects my idea
of a flower, but “offers its
own idea” instead, a kind of
flower idea too, but nothing

Here it’s clear to me that if

| Your Personal Biography |
Thank you for viewing my work!
I was born in 1967 in a Polish family in Western Ukraine, in the city of Ternopil and was raised in capital of Ukraine and one of the largest and oldest cities in Eastern Europe, city of Kiev.
I have been painting all my life. I studied art at Darnitsa Art School in Kiev, where completed a diploma of fine arts. My passion is colorful expressionism in fantasy, abstract and genre-picture art. Having been thrilled by creation of intense color-filled, bright images I have developed my own technique using pastels.My favourite styles are Expressionism and Fauvism. I am engaged in “Tralfrealism” international fine-artists group acivity. My paintings adorn the walls of homes and businesses of my friends across the United States, as well as Holland and Germany.
I have been residing in Poland, Denmark, Holland, Germany and for four years (2004-2008) - in Chicago, USA. Since 2008 I am residing in Kiev-city, Ukraine, with my family. Please, do not hesitate to e-mail me with any questions, comments, or requests!
