I am painter, photographer and poetess. I was born in Kiev, capital of Ukraine, lived in Russia in Moscow, where I studied painting in People's Art University in Moscow, and from 2015 year till now I live in Bulgaria in town Varna, where I participated in local art exhibitions. 

My paintings were published in newspapers, magazines and books, internet sites. Some my paintings are already sold and in private collections in USA and Europe. Besides original painting I also sell prints and digital files of my painting, and sucessfully sold thousands of them.

I have my own artistic site and youtube art channel. 

All my pictures are unique, I never paint copies. For sold pictures it is possible to buy print or digital file. My thematic are beauty of nature - landscapes, flowers, fauna and travel painting. I paint in different materials - oil and acrylic on canvas, watercolour, and also in different techiques and styles, trying to give my buyers wide choice of different pictures.I created my own style called Golden art, which is using of golden paints with shinning glossy effect. 

I find sense of life and happiness in beauty, and see aim of visual arts, especially painting, in creating beauty, reflection and increasing beauty of the world, and mission of painter to share beauty with people.
