The creative path
My work is an expression of sincerity and personal vision, free from templates and imitation. I have no idols or authorities — I follow my own path and remain honest with myself and my audience.
Art education and years of practice have allowed me to explore a wide range of techniques — from painting and graphic arts to sculpture and performance. During this time, I have participated in competitions, organized projects and exhibitions, and become part of the professional community of Finnish artists.
Resources are sometimes limited, and I often take risks without any guarantee of success. Yet I continue to do what I love and value every step of the process. Creating something genuine brings a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
For me, art is not just a profession or a way to earn a living. It is a way to stay true to myself and maintain integrity in a world that often demands compromise.
Born and raised in Ukraine, the experience of war, separation, and relocation has profoundly shaped my perception of life and creativity. My works speak to what often remains unspoken: unity, mutual support, resistance, strength of spirit, and personal conviction.
