I was born in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. Podilia is the region where I first experienced the world. The specific sounds, smells, and sights all create a vivid and unique landscape that I carry with me. This region, with its rich history and culture, profoundly shaped my artistic vision.

Podilia, located in the heart of Ukraine, is a region known for its rolling hills, fertile fields, and charming towns. It’s a place where nature and history intertwine, creating a captivating atmosphere. The region’s history is steeped in folklore and tradition, with ancient castles, monasteries, and churches dotting the landscape. It’s also a region of vibrant cultural life, with folk music, dance, and crafts playing a significant role in everyday life.

My early experiences in Podilia instilled in me a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and the richness of human expression. The region’s diverse landscape, with its rolling hills, dense forests, and winding rivers, inspired my fascination with light and shadow, color and texture. The vibrant traditions and folklore of Podilia also ignited my passion for storytelling and my desire to express the human condition through art.

These early experiences in Podilia laid the foundation for my artistic journey, shaping my aesthetic sensibilities and informing my creative vision. It is a region that continues to inspire me, and its influence can be seen in my artwork.
