ARTWORKS
As an artist and individual, I strive for equality, stability and sustainable life.
Now, at the time of a war, I feel the need to protect and promote myself as an artist and do the same for Ukrainian culture and artists as a curator. I consider myself as an ambassador of the Ukrainian culture, with collage art in particular. Making art is, first, a conversation with myself. I listen, learn, negotiate with my inner child, and together we collaborate to produce a work of art in a form of collage, photography, poem or even a sensual mixing of two tracks.
I am working with the problematics of sensitivity, human rights, injustice, feminism and also the good and beautiful side of life. We are living in the uncertain times, and I believe that ART is an occupation that will salvage the young generation.
