In September 2022 I turned 40 years old, 31 years of which I have been drawing, 10 years ago my professional creative path began. For the last 6 years I have been living in Ukraine, in Lviv, in the city where I finally formed as a free, independent artist.
I strive to ensure that human feelings and experiences do not leave art, that the play of meanings does not overshadow other meanings, that the dialogue with the viewer does not end. And if we take the relevance of my works, as it was and will be, it is a metaphorical reflection of reality. 2022 was a turning point for me not only in my work, but also in my life, in the life of all Ukrainians and the entire world community. In February, on the eve of the invasion of Russian troops, paintings were created that seemed to be harbingers of the tragic events in Ukraine. They started a new creative cycle, the first part of which is called "Premonition". Today I live and continue to work in Malaga, Spain. Chronology of creative life before the start of the war: In 2021, the global pandemic was reflected in the "Silence of Meanings" series of abstract paintings. The dazzling white, voluminous surfaces of the paintings are inspired by the art of ancient Greece, the work of Latin American artists, Italian neo-realists in cinema. In these living folds, space materializes and such a silence of meaning shines through, which is most valuable in any kind of art and no less important in the modern world of information load. In 2019-2020, the dialogue between the culture of the past was devoted to the search for new plastic solutions and experiments with non-figurative painting. This is how the series of works "Terracotta Frescoes" appeared, referring to the fine arts of Pompeii. In 2017 - 2018, reflections on the dramatic confrontation between culture and barbarism were displayed in the series "We Were Here". The painting technique of this series is in tune with the classic al fresco - as if the white chalk of the wall paintings appears through modern oil, sending the viewer to museums or the majestic ruins of the past. The paintings of this cycle were shown in Kyiv in the art club "KHLAM" (Artists Authors Performers Musicians) as part of a project to get to know contemporary artists working in Ukraine, curated by Ganka Tretyak. And also the paintings visited the international fairs The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles, then in New York in 2018. In 2016 she created a series of paintings "The Time of the Witnesses", which was influenced by the events in Aleppo and Palmyra and the death of the cultural heritage of one of the Eastern civilizations. The artistic reception of paintings, built on replicas of the great images of sculpture and painting, creates a modern space, insisting that history does not move linearly, that different eras overlap and live in our minds, giving rise to an amazing experience of multi- layered perception of culture and the reality around us. This series of paintings was shown at a solo exhibition in Krakow, Poland. In 2016 she participated in the international exhibition "Under One Sky" of the Luciano Benetton Foundation. In the section “Looking to the East. Contemporary artists from Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia and Uzbekistan.” In 2015 she moved to Ukraine, to Lviv. In 2014, she participated in the Dakar Biennale (Dak'Art 2014) as part of the project “The Art of Humanity” of the Luciano Benetton collection. In 2013 she graduated from the art faculty of VGIK, specialty "Art Director of Film and TV", workshop of Professor AN Tolkachev. During her studies, she repeatedly took part in exhibitions and filming as an assistant to the production designer. She has worked as an illustrator and storyboard artist for film and commercials. In 2012 she gave a series of lectures for young artists at the first international biennale of contemporary art Arsenale in Kyiv. In 2011 she became the winner of the creative competition for young artists "Luck is an attitude" within the framework of the Martini Art Club project. |
