I was born in 1961 in Ukraine's Poltavs'ka region. As long as I remember, I admired painting. During education in Kyiv Polytechnic University from 1978 to 1984 I took lessons of painting in Vassyl Zabashta's art school based in Kyiv. I graduated from Kyiv Polytechnic University in 1984. Since then I have lived and worked in Cherkasy, Ukraine. ---------------------- I enjoy life. And I just love painting. And I depict everything that affirms life. Either a landscape or still life, portrait or conversation piece. It was important to find own painting style and feature. Not only Ukrainian artists, who I took lessons from, influenced my artistic style but also great masters of the past: Van Gogh, Cezanne, Degas etc. Artist changes during all the life. His style and aesthetic views change too. Only devotion to art has to be constant. I don’t like mysteries in art I try to communicate with spectator directly. 2018 -- Exhibition "Colors of April" in Cherkasy Art Museum 2017 -- Exhibition devoted to Day of the artist 2016 -- Exhibition devoted to Day of the artist 2016 -- “In Red” exhibition 2015 -- Ukrainian Christmas exhibition 2015 -- Exhibition devoted to Day of the artist 2015 – “In Red” exhibition.
