STATEMENT
Being an artist is not an occupation for me, but rather a state of mind. I'm an artist because it's my nature and, in a certain way, my instinct; I can't live the other way. When people see my paintings I'd like them to be happier and kinder. My paintings express emotions with a broad and rich texture. My expressive language of colors won't leave anyone indifferent.
Painting connects me to the world and allows me to express myself and translate what I see and feel onto canvas and paper. The more I think about my art, the more I think is a gift from God and my mission is to share it.
BIOGRAPHY
I have been an artist my whole life. I was born and raised in Ukraine and I first developed my love of art there. Since my childhood, I have been intrigued with the patterning of light and the interaction of color. I studied at the School of Art in Ukraine. In 1978 I graduated from the Facility of Art. In 1996 I moved to Israel and settled in Tiberias, where I continued to pursue my passion as an artist and sculptor. I have lived in Enakievo, Donetsk,Nizhnevartovsk, Anapa, Tiberias ,New York, Saint Paul. I now live and work between Tel Aviv and Los Angeles. I consider myself as a global citizen.
Recent exhibits and corporate collections include Beit Igal Alon in Safed, Israel, TEOBS Foundation Los Angeles, CA, 25th Annual Los Gatos Art Association Open Juried Show, Gallery Gabrichidze Brussel, Belgium, Ward Nasse Art Gallery NY, APW Arts Gallery NY, APW Gallery's World Of Imagination Vol.2, Reflect-arts, Inc. and JayKay Gallery, Switzerland, Landscapes/Dreamscapes Juried Art Exhibition, Topanga Canyon Gallery, Los Angeles.
