The world suffers from many phenomena: wars, crime, pandemics. In my paintings these themes are absent. But this does not mean that I am not concerned with the problems in which the whole world is now immersed. It is extremely painful for me to perceive Ukraine today, but my work is aimed at drawing attention to the other, brighter side of life.
Along with darkness, there is always light. If we pay attention to this bright side more often, we can make this world a better place. For we have come here to improve everything around us, to build rather than destroy, to protect and appreciate the best that life offers us every day and by that we pass by without noticing these gifts of the universe.

My paintings are an attempt to support inspiration and hope for the future, to find the strength and will to improve. I use vibrant colors, abstraction and symbols and embody it all in deep and emotionally rich works. That is why my creativity is full of life, energy and optimism.

My goal is that the exhibition causes joy of contemplation and reveals to everyone his secret dreams, which many of us have abandoned. I believe the war will end. She changed us, but we didn't lose our humanity. We came together, remembered our roots, so we deserve to have our dreams come true.
