Can you share a bit about your background and how your journey began?
My journey as an artist began very early in my life. From childhood, I loved drawing, experimenting with different textures and materials, and searching for my own visual language. I attended an art studio where I learned various techniques, and I genuinely enjoyed the entire creative process.
Over time, my development became not only personal but also professional I participated in exhibitions and competitions and even served as a judge. That’s when I clearly realized that expressing myself through painting is truly my path.
What inspired you to choose this career path?
I was inspired by the understanding that art has no language barriers. No matter what language a person speaks or where they are in the world, paintings can always hold answers. Art communicates on a deeper, universal level, and that realization made me choose this path.
How would you describe your style or creative identity?
My style is about conveying thoughts, emotions, and meaning through a painting. I aim to create works that allow each viewer to interpret them in their own way, finding personal emotions and stories within the artwork. I believe art becomes complete only when it connects emotionally with the viewer.
Which project or achievement are you most proud of so far?
I have several projects I’m deeply proud of. One of the most important is my involvement in charitable projects, where my paintings are used for meaningful and positive causes.
I’m also proud of the educational courses I create for people interested in art. One of my biggest and most meaningful achievements is a large-scale mural I painted for a Greek restaurant in Los Angeles, inspired by Santorini. Because of its size, scale, and emotional significance, it remains one of my most ambitious projects to date.
What challenges have shaped you the most in your career?
One of the most impactful challenges in my life was the war in my home country, Ukraine, and my relocation to the United States. This experience taught me that despite immense difficulties, it’s essential to keep creating, stay strong, and continue moving forward.
It showed me that even when everything changes, you should never abandon the work that is part of who you are.
How do you see the art industry evolving in the coming years?
Even though artificial intelligence is rapidly growing in the art world, I believe that handmade, human-created art will always remain relevant. Over time, people return to authenticity just like vintage or classic pieces.
True art lovers will always value works created by human hands, filled with emotion, presence, and soul.
Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
In five years, I see myself as a successful international artist, organizing exhibitions, educational programs, and presentations around the world. I also envision myself actively supporting charitable organizations and contributing to meaningful causes through my art.
What message would you like to give to your fans and our readers?
Even in the darkest days, remember that there is always light within you. Only you have the power to find it, ignite it, or silence it. No one else can do that for you. That light is always inside you just have to allow it to shine.
