There is no other debt but mind,
There is no other destiny but love,
There is no other sign of kindness but beauty.
I think these words perfectly characterize a person. I love the whole world surrounding a man and the content of our culture. This led me to a serious learning of painting, I can say this my chief business, my cross. Painting opened the world with all its experience, all high ideas and works of art, the world with all pushbuttons of spiritual space and countless registers.
And now some dates: I was born in 1968, Rovno (Ukraine) and became keen in drawing when being 11 years. 1986-1988 – service in the Army where I made a final decision to learn and occupy myself with painting. 1988 – 1991- the study and work at Rovno Pedagogical Institute (department of painting). After graduation from the Institute I got a certain experience working as a school teacher of drawing. In 1994 I started working in advertising business, my trend: visual ad and design. At the present moment I am occupied exclusively with painting.
In 1990 I and my like-minded fellows organized an art-group “FFF” (function forms a form). The same year the group presented the first exhibition featured with its extraordinary and novelty. 3-4 exhibitions are annually held in Rovno as well as in other cities.
My first and second solo exhibitions (with more than 40 artworks presented) took place in 1992 and 1994 accordingly.
Among the latest foreign exhibitions I would like to mention “Dragonfly production”, New York (2001), “Elena” gallery, Moscow (2001), and “Srokovo IV” international exhibition, Poland (2004).
My paintings found their owners in Germany, USA, Austria, Czech, Poland and Latvia.
My birth in this sunny world was the brightest moment of my life. The second one was when I saw the light inside myself, then I have a sunny day each time when a new artwork is born. I hope many other bright events are ahead.
If you ask me what I am trying to convey through my creative work (oeuvre), the answer will be: the inner world of a human being, and the nature, with all their contradictions which become poles of unity and solidity. Besides I am eager to find and understand a subtle sound between fragrance and line of a flower.
