I'm sharing some photos from my walk around the city center this weekend
One photo inspired me to paint
I might be in the creative process soon

I haven't been here for a while
Finally a day off after a busy week
Plans for today: a walk around Kyiv with a friend and delicious coffee

Have a great weekend everyone

After a restless night, I seek strength in nature

Find light and beauty during times of internal anxiety

Monday morning
Spring is the most beautiful time of year, everything around us in nature comes to life
I love observing nature at this moment
Have a wonderful Monday🤍

Христос Воскрес!
The whole family is gathered around the table, and these are the most wonderful moments to see each other and chat

evening and mysterious Kyiv

I took a break from social media to avoid going crazy from the amount of information and news
It's cold in Kyiv today, and there's been hail and snow
The weather is also fickle

It's been a while since I posted a photo of myself
It's the end of the workday, and the scent of spring is in the air
I'm searching for peace and inspiration

The second painting in the Kyiv landscape series is in progress
The new painting will be in the style of the painting below
This was the first painting in this series, and it will soon be on its way to its owner

I'm really enjoying these purchases!
I finally decided on the format for my new painting 🤍
I also came across these cute miniature daffodils at the local store, for which I had to buy a new vase

I’m always inspired by children’s drawings on the pavement 🤍
They are always filled with sincerity and kindness
Greetings from sunny Kyiv

Monday!
This week I'm planning to paint another Kyiv landscape
I want to use the same colors as in the previous painting, or maybe experiment further

Saturday morning!
This little guy lifted my spirits, sharing his photo with you 🤍
Have a great weekend everyone ☺️

Big hugs to everyone🫂❤️
Слава Україні!

During my time here, I've met so many wonderful people. I thank each of you.
Thanks to you, I continue to create and do my favorite thing – drawing! Today I blew out the candle on my birthday cake and made my most important wish, a wish I've been making since 2022…

I'm happy that I have a wonderful family. I'm happy that I'm surrounded by incredible, wonderful friends and acquaintances. Some are on the other side of this earth, and we keep in touch.
I'm grateful to each of you for being here and with me…

And up there in heaven is my powerful guardian angel – my dad. Who, I think, was also with us, or at least watching over us. Cherish your loved ones while they're with you and never take their presence for granted. On my birthday, I'm incredibly happy, no matter what…

March 18th. As a child, I counted down every day until this day. I eagerly awaited my birthday.
Today I celebrated this day with the people closest to me – my family. It means so much to me to be able to gather with my loved ones and know they're alive and well…

The painting is ready!

«St. Andrew's Church, Kyiv»
Size: 30x30 centimeters

The painting's contrast between colors and emotions.
A sense of calm at sunset, when the bustle of the capital transforms into the tranquility of the evening.
A sense of the moment

The morning began with air raid sirens and explosions, and the evening was spent finishing the painting
Tomorrow I'll varnish it and the painting will be even brighter

Sunday evening!
I decided to leave some of the pink in the painting, since many of you wrote that it should be left in
Just a little bit of work remains, and it will be ready
What do you think?

I'm still working on the painting
I was thinking of using pink as an underpainting, over which the painting would be painted
But now I'm thinking of leaving the pink in the painting
It will create contrast

What do you think about this?

My morning starts with a cup of coffee and creative process
