ARTIST STATEMENT
New living conditions, war and constant stress led me to a logical search for ways of self-preservation, inner harmony. After all, at any time there is a place for discovery, creativity, and art.
Thoughts and imagination were sublimated in the technique of collage, first digital (because I did not have the strength to touch materials and tools physically and morally), and now analog. Collage became my therapy.
Using the techniques of citation, I rethink "eternal" art, transform, giving new meanings to ancient sculptures and archival photos of Ukrainian life
I like to encourage people to think, to feel the idea of the work. Or at least to see and form your own opinion about what you see. Collage is freedom. Feel it.
Works from the "Feelings" series are in the collection of the Korsakiv Museum of Contemporary Art, Lviv, and the collage "I don't believe... other objects" is in the Dnipro Art Museum, Dnipro.
I am represented in the online gallery "Conflict Art", Washington. My work is part of private collections in 20 countries.
