About me

The artist was born in 1996 in Ukraine, in the city named Dnipro, lives in Kyiv, working in visual art with: oil, acrylic, enamel, silkscreen printing, aerosol, mixed media, paper, graphite, photography. In my childhood, I was surrounded by factories, railway, unfinished subway and many other industrial objects. Even after I grew up and moved to a different city, I wanted to find locations to which I got used, their atmosphere. Before the war started, my actual project was a large series of Kyiv subways. At the moment this series is transformed into the theme of a subway as a shelter place, a safe zone from rockets and explosions. The war has changed the perception of many things for Ukrainians. I’d like to show how this experience changed what and why I depict.
