I use a dynamic worldview, rejection of a settled way of life and migration as tools to re-actualise my “mental map”, as a way to see clearly and get rid of automatic perception. Being a nomad used as a cognitive tool in the artistic field allows space for miracles and manifestations of life itself

I have traveled a lot in Southeast Asia, have lived in Thailand for several years, and am very inspired by tropical plants. This one glows in the sun is green! I could not calm down until I learned how to convey it in my paintings.
This work was written in Chiang Mai, in the north of Thailand. I walked through the jungle every day for inspiration.

I paint this work for a Ukrainian newspaper following an unconscious impulse. Now this work has acquired new meanings. 
There is an article in the newspaper about how the Cossacks captured the ship ... But while people are doing heroic deeds, leaving their bodies for crabs for dinner, someone just continues to eat crabs while reading the news in the newspapers.

Still life with a home "altar" of inspiring things and ordinary "household" things. And painted my artwork with the Mediterranean Sea, a kind of recursion.
The artwork is made in gouache on canvas. Canvas on cardboard, not framed.

Still Life

I have traveled and lived a lot in tropical countries and really love tropical plants. I like bright saturated colors and green harmonizes the interior. Now I live on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and banana trees are part of the everyday landscape.

My work here is a single copy of my unique and original handiwork. It is made on special, high-quality 100% cotton paper designed for watercolor from the world’s best manufacturers and has a density of 300 grams/meter.

I saw this plot while traveling in Malaysia, in the picturesque town of Melaka. Tropical frangipani flowers and bright green bamboo grew against the backdrop of the bright orange wall of the house. I wanted to convey these bright colors and this picture warms the house.

I saw this story while traveling in Malaysia. I really love tropical flowers, these bright colors and the unity of nature with the city. Southeast Asia taught me how to feel colors.

For 8 years I lived in different countries of Southeast Asia. I was very inspired by statues, sometimes as if just lost in the jungle.
As an artist, I work with the polysemy of the concept of "migration", I am looking for new facets of a multicultural and multiethnic international community. I use a dynamic worldview, rejection of a settled way of life and migration as tools to re-actualise my “mental map”, as a way to see clearly and get rid of automatic perception.

Dreams cast no shadow. In this work, the question remains - what is reality?
In this work - my travels to tropical countries and my current life on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. My love for tropical plants and regret that now it's not so easy to get into my favorite jungle. And we have to console ourselves with houseplants. And on the walls of the room there are shadows from these plants. But which of them are real, which are memories, and which are dreams?
