The stork appears as the image of a man who was personified in the Ukrainian apocrypha by the ancient Greek counterpart of Pandora. A man, according to God's election or calling, had to fulfill his mission. But eternal human curiosity and incredulity turned his life into an eternal test. According to the legend, not throwing away the bellows with the enslaved wickedness, but looking into the middle, the man released evil and various vile things on the ground. Since then, he is doomed to collect it everywhere, turned into a bird.
My totem is humanity and eternal human values. Perhaps that is why the stork is associated with the image of nationalism and Ukrainianness. This is a bird that lives next to people, a bird that seems to reflect us and our society, our essential nature and inner structure.
My Stork is the image of a restless soul that yearns for heaven but is tied to the earth.

Participant of All-Ukrainian, international, personal exhibitions.
An expressive artist performs his work quickly in less than three days. I constantly experiment with different techniques and colors in my works.
I am inspired by life, what surrounds me, by the emotions I received from what I saw.
I have been painting for 17 years, I work in the workshop every day, I don't wait for the muse. She comes to me in the process of work, when I create.
I do what I feel, regardless of criticism, my experience allows me to do everything based on feelings.
I like to work in large formats. They exhaust me and I pour my energy there, emotions are important to me. My art is sincere and is what it is.
I live and work in Ukraine.
