About

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 paint wild things—but really, I paint feelings.

My work is rooted in the quiet strength we carry. It’s about the wild parts of us that survive storms—grief, love, motherhood, war, and the everyday changes that shape us. I began painting after we left Ukraine and moved to Poland. In a time when everything felt uncertain, art became a way to process, to breathe, and to stay present.

I'm self-taught, and my inspiration comes from nature, from being a mother of four, and from the stories we all hold but don’t always have words for. My paintings often feature animals—not just for their beauty, but because they mirror us. They are soft and fierce, lost and resilient, wild and deeply tender. Just like we are.

Each brushstroke is a conversation with the quiet parts of life—grief that lingers, love that anchors, hope that flickers but doesn’t go out. I try to paint what it feels like to keep going.

These paintings are for people who’ve been through loss, change, and hard seasons—and still believe in beauty, still choose kindness. If you see yourself in these wild things, then they were always meant for you

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.
