Artist Statement

I’m an artist and designer living and working in Kyiv. I’ve always been fascinated by how the world is built, from the smallest particles to the most complex systems. And how something simple can grow into something intricate.

As I mentioned, I’m not only an artist but also a designer — specifically a product (UI/UX) designer. In product design, I work with design systems. Essentially, it’s a set of elements that combine into one large, complex organism: a product (like an app or software).

And in my opinion, this is the essence of life: to explore, find good building materials, and create something. I’m lucky because that’s exactly what I do both in my job and in my art.

Back to art.

For me, art is mostly about the vibe, about how I enjoy spending my time. It’s about interacting with the material: paint and canvas. I genuinely enjoy sitting in my studio and painting. I love the process. And now I’ve reached a certain consistency: I research, I experiment. Even though my work remains abstract, you can already recognize certain objects or structures in it. It’s like a universe made of countless details, yet forming a coherent whole. And everyone sees something different in it. I work with acrylic on canvas. In the process, it’s important for me to catch the balance between structure and chaos, logic and intuition. I want the viewer not only to see the form but also to feel the internal dynamics, the interaction of elements coming together into a composition. A living presence.
