What I do:
When I was a little kid, approximately 4 years old, my mother noticed that I had a talent for fine arts. She supported my talent in every possible way and tried to develop it. She read me a lot of books about great artists, bought collections of paintings by Picasso, Dali, Shishkin, Van Gogh, Monet, Da Vinci, Raphael, and others, read me their biographies, and introduced me to the great world of art.
  When I was a teenager and while studying at school, I was totally fascinated by art. My teachers noted my talent and unusual style. They helped me to organize my first exhibitions. Quite soon, collectors from Ukraine became interested in my works and bought them for their private collections. r I realized that art is my vocation and that this is exactly what I want to do. Therefore, when it came time to choose a highe educational institution where I would receive my degree, I had no doubt that I wanted to develop myself as an artist and sharpen my talent by backing it up with academic knowledge.
As soon as I moved to Kyiv, more and more collectors became interested in me. I started to conduct an active exhibition activity and collectors from the USA, Hong Kong, Ecuador, and United Kingdom were also interested in my works. Also, my works are in the private collections of many high- ranking persons in Ukraine and abroad.
After a while, my ideas and concepts overgrew the framework of easel painting. I had a need to express my talent on a bigger plane like the room walls and ceiling so that living space became a painting itself. It creates an extraordinary magical world of fantasy for a a person. space.
After all, we all have our own personalities and features. Thus, my new task has become to understand the character and preferences of a person and to recreate these in his or her living As a result, the idea of developing special wall structures and transforming a living space into a painting was born.
To complement my ideas, I started to design my own chandeliers, sculptures, stained glass windows, and bas reliefs to create works of art in people's homes. Below, I will show you exactly what I mean and - I will introduce you to my individual creative concepts, which I have been implementing for many years.

A swimming pool of a private house in Kyiv (the area of ​​the artistic painting is 500 square meters) Completion period: 2008-2010

Concept: My task was how to turn a huge room with different levels and zones into a single and unified composition, get rid of corners as much as possible, and create an endless space by removing all frames and walls and giving the impression of infinity.

Idea: My client asked me to combine the underwater world, the mythology of ancient civilizations, and a bird's eye view of the Earth within one painting.

Implementation: In the beginning, I had to make a composition of a multi-level room. I decided to create an underwater world starting from the shore, with a smooth transition into deeper waters. So that a person who enters the room has a feeling of smooth immersion. For a stronger effect, I applied the technique of hyper-realistic wall painting in the academic style. In the composition, I combined elements of sunken ancient civilizations as well as underwater creatures in their habitat.

Specification: - to recreate the covering of a floor, pool bowl, and walls which must withstand all the maximum loads with regard to wear resistance, waterproofness, and chemical resistance;

  • to create sculptures and bas-reliefs (plaster, concrete, polyester and epoxy resin) covered with gold leaf and additional painting;
  • to make the artistic oil painting covered with epoxy resin
A house in the suburbs of Kyiv Completion period: 2013-2014
  • •Staircase painting, 4 floors (200 square meters). The painting is made with acrylic paint in a monochromatic color scheme. Concept: The streets of Paris in the early 1900s.
  • Artistic painting in a dining room made in the style of surrealism. The total area of ​​​​the painting is 50 square meters.
  • The stained glass windows are made according to my sketches and design and under my supervision
Pool painting and bas-relief in a private house in Ukraine. Created by my hands in 2017-

Idea:

To combine two cultures - cultures of Ukraine and the USA - in one backyard since the customer lives in each of the countries from time to time.

Implementation:

Since the house is made in a country style with Gothic elements, I had to complement it with landscape sculptural compositions and waterfalls to maximize the feeling of wild nature.
