The model in the painting was captured during a live session. And to me this painting symbolizes love and trust in its broadest sense. The figure represents love towards a partner, even though the partner is not visible, as well as trust in the world. The man in the painting appears relaxed and content, reaching for something desirable beyond our sight, like a metaphorical fruit that inspired the title.
The painting itself is created using oil paints and golden foil. The golden foil serves to represent light and energy, while also highlighting the theme of sexuality, which is a central aspect of the artwork. The edges of the gold foil intentionally have an uneven appearance, as the intention is to depict a wonderful reality rather than an unattainable ideal.
The overall appearance of the painting may vary depending on the lighting conditions, but it is best appreciated in dim or indirect light. This allows the gold foil to accentuate the figure and shapes, adding depth and enhancing the overall visual experience.

As an artist, I am constantly seeking to capture the essence of emotions and experiences, translating them onto canvas in a way that transcends language and cultural barriers. Through my art, I hope to evoke a sense of contemplation, inviting viewers to delve into their own thoughts and emotions.
Born and raised in Ukraine, my artistic journey has been a winding path. While initially studying at the State Art School, I unfortunately had to halt my education during the final year due to family obligations. Despite this setback, I pursued a degree in economics and found success in the field of marketing.
However, my love for art never waned, and I eventually found my way back to it. Seeking to hone my skills and expand my artistic horizons, I sought private lessons from esteemed professionals. Their guidance and mentorship allowed me to refine my techniques.
In 2017, I proudly held my first solo exhibition, a milestone that marked the beginning of my independent artistic career. Since then, I have continued to showcase my work through solo exhibitions and have also been fortunate enough to participate in collective exhibitions. It brings me immense joy to know that my paintings have found homes in Ukraine and other countries, connecting with individuals who appreciate and resonate with my artistic expression.
