My art projects are created to bring light and kindness to the depressive landscapes of Ukraine. Based on my own experience of living in Ukraine (a state damaged by war and ongoing economic crisis), my drawings and paintings are designed to demonstrate that love and life can be found even in the darkest of places, if one remembers to turn on the lights.
I derive inspiration from gentle colours and textures – to give hope to my fellow citizens who are trapped in grey realities of Ukraine – a country that went through two revolutions within ten years.
