About artist
Art is my way of choosing life.
I paint for people who don’t want to wait for “someday”. Life is happening today — in bold decisions, spontaneous moments, and the courage to be fully yourself.
My paintings carry that energy. They are small reminders that life is meant to be lived now.
My Story
My first paintings were not on canvas. They were on the walls of my childhood bedroom.
Later, life took me in many unexpected directions. After university, I became a manicure artist, painting tiny women, flowers, and animals on nails. It was still art — just on a very small scale.
Then life kept moving. New cities. New countries. New chapters.
I became a freelancer in digital marketing, building campaigns, strategies, and numbers on screens.
But something inside me never stopped pulling me back.
In 2023, I picked up an Apple Pencil and an iPad — and suddenly remembered who I was.
An artist.
--------------------------------------------------------------
2024 became the year my art truly blossomed.
I created seven art collections, painted dozens of miniature artworks, participated in my first exhibitions, hosted my first art show, and experienced my first art sale after many years.
It felt like opening a door that had always been waiting for me.
2025 became a year of recalibration.
I created fewer works but went deeper into the process. My art was printed in two international art magazines, and I continued exhibiting and hosting art shows.
Art was no longer something I returned to. It became the center of my life.
2026 marks another exciting chapter.
My name appears in the Love Lives in San Francisco Art Walk brochure, where I participate as a live artist.
My work continues to find its collectors. And my artistic journey is turning in a bold new direction.

Style & Inspiration
I love the present moment.
Right now. This minute.
As a Ukrainian, I know deeply that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Life can change suddenly, which makes every moment of joy even more precious.
That philosophy lives inside my paintings.
Bold strokes.
Sharp lines.
Vivid colors.
My paintings are created quickly and intuitively — often within just a few hours.
I don’t like hesitation in art. I take a canvas, brushes, paint — and the energy flows.
The painting appears.
Why My Art Matters
Because of this bold, spontaneous process, the energy of the work can be felt immediately.
My art is a reminder not to postpone life.
Dye your hair red.
Take a road trip.
Sing on stage.
Play tennis even if you’re terrible at it.
Do not wait for someone’s permission.
Give that permission to yourself.
Today.
Every painting is an invitation to step into your own boldness.
If you dare.
Beyond the Canvas
When I’m not painting, you’ll likely find me on a tennis court or experimenting with animation in Procreate Dreams.
I believe creativity should live everywhere — not only on canvas.
