I am originally from Ukraine and currently live in Vienna, Austria. My artistic journey began in art school, where I mastered the basics of art and gained an understanding of its subtle nuances. I loved attending art school — it was a meaningful part of my life, and I approached it with great joy and inspiration. At that time, I seriously considered pursuing a degree in fine arts and building a professional career as an artist. However, when the time came to choose a university path, I found myself torn between entirely different directions. Alongside my passion for creativity, I was deeply inspired by scientific and technological progress. I was fascinated by science fiction films and driven by a desire to explore the knowledge and achievements of human civilization from within. Ultimately, I chose to study engineering, specializing in Rocket and Space Complexes. After graduation, I spent some time working as an engineer in a design bureau focused on the development of space rockets, and later transitioned into software development for mobile devices. Yet, art remained a constant companion throughout these years. In recent years, I have returned to it with full focus, actively bringing my inspiration to life on canvas. As an artist, I draw my inspiration from the ever-changing beauty of nature, finding endless possibilities in its forms, colors, and energy. In abstract works, I strive to capture the essence of the moment and convey the emotions evoked by the surrounding environment. Part of my works are executed with traditional acrylic paints, allowing me to convey the richness of colours and textures. Another part involves experiments with the technique of fluid acrylic, where paints blend and merge, resulting in impressive multidimensional effects and abstract compositions. Each of my pieces is a journey into the realm of my imagination and perception of nature. I hope that my works will convey to you the same magic and inspiration that I experience while creating them — and that you find something that touches your soul.
