Ukraine
In my paintings and music, I am tries to change the world for the better. Earlier, I called on people to protect the nature around us. Now, looking around, I urge people to wake up from the war nightmare all over the world. It pains me to see what kind of future our planet is striving for. If my music or painting can change at least one or more people, we will have a chance for peace!

1. What’s your background?
I was left without parents early, but it didn't become a grass for me. I studied music, played sports, and tried to study a little at an art school. But, I got bored, and I decided to draw the way I like. When I grew up, I realized that I needed to become strong in order to survive in this world on my own. I have worked for a long time to arrange my life. After that, when my life became easier, I again returned to my favorite business, to music and painting.
2. What does your work aim to say?
Picture: "History of Ukraine" colorfully describes what is happening in our country, and how people from outside who are in the shadow manage it.
The picture: "Libel and devastation", demonstrates how the Ukrainian media constantly lie. They slandered me, defamed my reputation. They lie about what is happening in the country and in the world.

Now our country is in a nightmare. We have no rights, we are forbidden to speak our native language, we are killed and burned alive and robbed!
4. Who are your biggest influences?
I have always been concerned about the issue of humanity and our planet. I realized that I can communicate with the world through creativity.
5. How has your art evolved over the years?
I've just been drawing since I was a child, as soon as I could hold a pencil. I painted everything that came to my hand, notebooks, tables, floors, sidewalks.
6. What does art mean to you?
Art is my life. I am happy when I paint painting and music.
7. What’s the most valuable piece of art to you?
Every.
