I am a Ukrainian artist working with new media to explore our relationship to time, the future, and digitalization. Time, like air, is such an ordinary and invisible substance that we do not even notice it. A continuous process of change over time. Every moment the object disappears and is born again. Now more than ever, we are in a state of transition to the virtual world, a complete digitalization. In this transition, objects and characters transmorph. I am interested in capturing this transition through my art.

My first experience of art was in a childhood when I and my father painted together. Of course, it wasn’t that kind of art as I mean now. But over years I still remember that feeling of deep delight and calmness when I painted.
I studied graphic design at University and after graduated began to work as a designer. Even though I was drawing all that time, it wasn’t my main occupation. Over time, I felt that design was limiting me. The design has strict borders, that art doesn’t. I felt the need to create something that I want to. So I began to paint. Art became a kind of meditation for me. Finally, I felt the meaning of my life.
