My work is varied. I am interested in painting landscapes, flowers, architecture and water. On the one hand, I like to control my every stroke, scrupulously work out the detail, and on the other hand, I like to give free rein to the material and hand. I like to work with both color and monochrome.

Iris, oil, canvas on stretcher 40*40, 2017
One spring evening, I was walking from the bus stop after work and saw it! This beautiful and huge iris that lured me to itself. The pink iris petals were very airy and marshmallow-like, while the underside was dense and firm. He haunted me and I painted it. And in the following years, there were similar irises in that place, but their sizes were small.

My mom loves to grow geraniums. because I always have nature at home with which to draw sketches. I like the way geraniums bloom, but I don't like the smell of the leaves. so I try not to touch this flower. The drawing was made with charcoal on paper in the format 29*21 cm, the size of the drawing is 17*12 cm

Beautiful sunsets at my favorite place in the city of Kyiv. This place always inspires creativity. While walking on this lake I am filled with energy. This is my place of power. I hope you also get the energy of the sunset and the coolness from the lake after a hot summer day.

It was a very hot day, me and my cat melted like cheese. And I decided to sketch my cat while he lay still. But the clouds were gathering for a thunderstorm. And when there was thunder, my cat got scared and ran away. After the explosions that took place in Kyiv, the cat became afraid of thunder. I had to finish the drawing without a sitter. And when I finished drawing, the cat came and lay down in the same place.

I was inspired to write this work by blooming flower beds in my city in spring. Pansies are such bright, varied and interesting flowers. Used watercolors on cellulose paper.

The peony season is always inspiring. Many people adore the aroma of these chic flowers, including myself. Therefore, I am sure that peonies will appear in my work more than once. This work is done in oil on canvas in an impressionistic manner. I used a muted background color through blues and lilacs to bring out the brightness of the peonies.

The sketch of a serious girl from the head. The sketch was made with black and red pen in a sketchbook, which I decided to dedicate exclusively to drawings of people.
