I am a Ukrainian painter, born in Kyiv in 1976 and currently living and working in Košice, Slovakia. I began painting in 2018 and work primarily with acrylic.
My practice moves through fantastic and magical realism, exploring familiar environments in which something has shifted slightly out of place. I am interested in symbolic objects, uncanny situations and small disruptions of ordinary reality — moments when the familiar becomes strange enough to suggest another story.
