I work in the genres of graphics, painting, and sculpture. Female figures occupy a central place in my art: I explore women, their existence, and their role in society. The woman, as I see her, is a symbol of life and faith that evokes a more aesthetic perception of the world and conduces to a deeper connection with other people.
Throughout my life I have explored themes that were hidden and prohibited by the Soviet authorities in Ukraine. My work is based on revealing subjects long treated as taboo, and on encouraging viewers to be excited, captivated, even shocked — because our ideas about “the normal” might be reduced, and need to be reconsidered.
