My mission as a human and as an artist originate from the enquiry into interconnectedness of all living and non-living beings, the flow and the exchange of energy.

I am exploring the changes associated with ageing, the impact of memories on our identity, notions of spirituality, time, the role of nature in improving human well-being and the philosophies of grief. My work aims to remind about the fragility of life, promote grief support and healing practices to encourage post-traumatic growth and emotional health.

My artwork is primarily constructed from materials found on building sites and in nature. Working in a broad range of media, including photography, video, sculpture, mixed media and paint, I aim to give decayed objects a new function and extend their life. I have tactile, instinctive and experimental approach to my creative practice, often working on site. My paintings are intuitive and atmospheric, drawing on symbolism and abstract forms.

I am originally from Ukraine. In 2020 I was invited to become a guest artist at Studio Fridays. My work has been featured in a number of exhibitions and art fairs in the UK. In 2021 I held a solo exhibition Vanishing Point in the Crypt Gallery, London, telling the story of my personal experience of loss and raising awareness about dementia.

I document my work and ideas in the eclectic studio journal.

As part of my research into these subjects, I have been contributing to a number of blogs, including, ‘My Journey from Grief to Art’, CHWA Stories, Smart Artists Hub, Tebbs Gallery, Better Together Artists, the Two of Us Podcast.

I am a member of Visual Artists Association, Studio Fridays, and Artquest and a-n.
