I was born in Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union, where my love for art began in early childhood.

As long as I can remember, I have loved drawing.
My artistic journey began with watercolour, and over the years I have enjoyed exploring a variety of mediums, each allowing me to express my ideas in different ways.
I have been living in Cape Town for over 20 years, and from the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its breathtaking beauty. The landscapes, wildlife, colours, and unique atmosphere have been a constant source of inspiration, which is why so many of my paintings are inspired by South Africa.
Through my art,as well as being a graphic designer I hope not only to capture the beauty of the world around me but also to create work that evokes emotion, brings comfort, and tells a story.
Looking ahead, my dream is to help people facing psychological challenges through art therapy, combining creativity with healing and human connection
