As a Ukrainian artist, I pour my heart and soul into my still life paintings, reflecting the ongoing conflict in my homeland. Through pierced elements and unstable foundations in my works, I symbolize the fragility and upheaval we experience. My inner world is a complex blend of resilience, pain, and hope, which I express by transforming everyday objects into powerful metaphors. My art serves as a silent protest and a way to preserve our Ukrainian cultural identity in these challenging times.

I am an Ukrainian photographer living in Germany specialized on still life photographies. I love to combine different colors and forms of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Some of my still lifes are similar to the works of classical photographers and Dutch painters – as we have known them for centuries. Supplemented by my contemporary interpretations. Other photos stand out for their minimalistic style.
