I am an aspiring artist from Ukraine and moved to Germany in early 2022 because of the war in Ukraine. Ever since I was a child, I have felt drawn to drawing and the world of art. I learnt to draw in an art studio and took part in exhibitions, but unfortunately, the profession of an artist was not regarded as prestigious in society. That is why I decided to study journalism at university rather than art.
However, after graduating from university and changing jobs several times, I realised that my life was incomplete without art and that I could not devote myself to anything else. So I decided to study fine art. I attended the studio of a Ukrainian artist, but had to interrupt my studies because of the war.
In 2023, I resumed my art studies at an art school here in Cologne, where I studied for a year whilst also taking private lessons. I now work in the studio of an experienced artist, Oleksii, and am constantly improving my skills.
I am only at the beginning of my creative journey, but I feel the strength to carry on. I love trying out new techniques and materials, which is why you’ll find a wide variety of drawings and paintings on my website. Art is a part of me – it defines who I am, and I cannot live without it.
