About Me

I am Ukrainian painter, who left Ukraine because of the war and currently lives in Carcassonne.
Graduated with a doctorate in economics, I ended my career as a professor-researcher in 2019 to devote myself to art and give substance to my ideas and my vision of the world. I also do consulting in the field of management of cultural and educational institutions.
In painting, I mainly work with still life and landscape using various techniques: oil and acrylic paint, watercolor or mixed techniques. I do not seek to create a copy of reality, but to show my own perception of the surrounding reality. My wokrs are inspired by amazing nature and by the bright colours of Ukrainian cultural heritage.
