Inner Light Print

Hi! I am artist from Ukraine. Because of the war in Ukraine I moved and now live in Norway. And I am inspired by the idea that through my artwork I connect with people from different cities, countries and continents, get closer to them and give them not just a painting, but a part of my soul, my emotions and energy that I invest in each artwork. I work in the technique of oil and acrylic painting. I love to paint flowers, ballerinas, landscapes, nude, portraits, people and places that inspire me. I started my career as an artist at 35. In art field I tried everything that was interesting to me. Kaleidoscopically changed techniques, approaches, styles, themes and objects for the creative process. That is why I have such a variety of paintings. My creative search continues... Creativity for me is an opportunity to know both my inner world and to comprehend the beauty and essence of everything that surrounds us; it is a philosophical rethinking of the mystery of existence and the realization of a deep inner vocation. __________________ BALLET A significant milestone in my work was the series "BALLET". For me, it is a search for the deep purpose of the Soul. “When the Mind sleeps, the Soul dances its Dance. She is free to be herself, not limited by rules and stereotypes imposed and invented by someone. She is free to create, dream and realize her higher purpose". In the modern world, we do not always listen to the voice of the Soul, but are more guided by the Mind. But does it make us happy? Do we live our lives in this case or do we embody someone else's ideas? Human unite with the Divine precisely through the process of Creation, and it does not matter whether it is writing a novel, a scientific article, a piece of music, growing flowers or preparing a culinary masterpiece. The series "Ballet" is my way to inner freedom, the search for answers to difficult questions about the meaning of life, about purpose, about harmony and happiness. _________________ I believe in the healing power of art. Talented American artist Lori Putnam (I was lucky to be her student when she came to Ukraine) says: “Art is bigger than just the one who creates it. It has the power to connect the world across language differences and cultural barriers, to heal those in sorrow, and ease the suffering of those in pain. Art is powerful. It is a gift to be shared”. - Golden words.
