I was born in 1987 in a small village in the Kherson region, Ukraine. I have been an artist for over 10 years, and I love nature and fairy tales. This has always been visible in my creative process. I enjoy working with traditional art materials: colored pencils, watercolor, acrylic and oil paints. I am currently studying digital drawing, game graphics, character concept design and landscape design. Therefore, I consider myself a beginner, but I strive to work in my creative field in my specialty.
