Short Bio

I’m a Ukrainian artist currently living in Poland, working mainly with acrylics. My work is inspired by the quiet strength of nature, often featuring landscapes, wildlife, and emotional symbolism. Painting became both a refuge and a voice for me after the war uprooted my family. I’ve participated in several local exhibitions and am passionate about creating art that brings calm and resilience into the viewer’s space.

Statement

I create acrylic paintings that explore the quiet power of nature and the emotional stories we carry within us. My work often reflects moments of stillness, resilience, and personal transformation, shaped by both my life experiences and my connection to the natural world.

As a Ukrainian artist living in Poland after being displaced by war, painting has become both a refuge and a way to express the layers of memory, loss, and hope that shape who I am. Through layered textures, bold colors, and symbolic forms, I aim to create spaces on canvas where viewers can pause, breathe, and find something of themselves reflected back.

Each piece I create is not only a visual story but also an emotional dialogue — between the seen and the unseen, the wild and the tender, the present and what’s just beyond it.

Biography

I’m a Ukrainian artist, living and working in Szczecin, Poland. I first studied space engineering, and that background taught me to think in systems and structures — but it’s painting that allows me to express what words often can’t: emotions, memories, and moments of stillness.

After the war in Ukraine forced me and my family to leave home, art became my way to hold on to meaning, to hope, and to beauty in the face of change. As a mother of four, I’ve also learned to embrace both chaos and tenderness, and that balance often shows up in my paintings — between strength and softness, between the wild and the intimate.

My work has been part of exhibitions here in Szczecin, including at 13 MUZ and the Szczecin National Museum. I paint to create spaces of connection — places where personal stories and shared emotions meet.
