MY ART AND EDUCATION

My works are in different parts of the world: in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art of Odessa and in private collections in Ukraine, the USA, Germany, Israel and France. It is the highest reward for me to see that my works are viewed and appreciated by people

My works are a reflection of my worldview and feelings. I feel that each of my paintings is a piece of my soul that is expressed through colors and lines

Regarding my education, this path was not traditional, but logical. My professional education began at the Izmail Art School and the workshop of artist Volodymyr Dudnyk. She then studied at the Faculty of Philosophy of the Odesa National University named after I. I. Mechnikov and at the same time in the workshops of such famous Odessa painters as Serhiy Belik and Yuri Yegorov.
After that, already having the experience of my first exhibitions and a higher education, I graduated from the Faculty of Painting of the Odesa Art School named after M.B. Grekov, as well as postgraduate studies at the Odessa National University named after I.I. Mechnikov, majoring in Philosophical Anthropology and Philosophy of Culture.
Later, my research focused on the theory and history of culture, which led me to a PhD in cultural studies. Currently, I work as an associate professor of the Department of Cultural Studies and Philosophy of Culture at the National University "Odesa Polytechnic". I combine teaching and research activities with creativity with pleasure and inspiration.

MY GOAL IS TO IMPRESS AND INSPIRE WITH MY WORK

MY PHILOSOPHY OF ART: AESTHETICIZATION OF VITALITY AND DEPTH OF SENSUALITY

/04

I consider artistic experiences and impressions as a condition for acquiring new energy, a certain catharsis. I combine tradition with innovation to create something special and inspire my viewers to a new sensory experience. That is why my work is a synthesis of traditional techniques and the latest artistic practices.

I use expressive bright colors, energetic lines and various textures as an artistic language through which I can talk about my own experiences, my research, my views and my feelings.
