My place of birth is Zapor0zhye, Ukraine - in a place called "Green Ravine". But my life has taken me far from home, and it has been an incredible journey.  I lived on the Red Coast of Egypt, where the sea bed is covered in coral that remains untouched. Just a child in a diving suit - I submerged, my heart was deeply touched, and a core memory generated. Charmed - I became a creator. 

      After a long exploration, I have found my home in Hawaii. With the first breath of the salty air I instantly felt a sense of belonging. I love the outdoors and hope that my work illustrates my passion for the ocean and coastal environment.      Everywhere I look - I see living, moving art...

      Painting the ocean and indulging in its unknown depths has been my life's passion. Clear waters are captivating with their lure to explore. The underworld's beauty is the ultimate exploration for my eyes. 

    As captivating the process of painting with epoxy resin is, it is also as long. Besides striving to master certain techniques, I also must sand every piece in between each layer to avoid clouding or cracking in the resin. Because of this some larger pieces take longer to complete. The process of polishing finished pieces can be compared to applying original paint to a brand new motor vehicle, which gets polished as well, grit by grit.

    Light is everything, it turns colors ever-changing. You see it sparkling on the surface of the ocean, washing up on the shores. 

     I remember spending hours upon hours, most days, most of my time painting, drawing and collecting my little creations, neatly in a colorful organizer. Thirty years later, my creative journey took me further away from paints and pencils, today my favorite painting medium is Epoxy resin. The colorants that I use with it are various pigments and inks.

    My obsession, mixed with passion allow to me capture cosmic details in a single drop of water, so deep and intricate that - look long enough, metamorphosing, see the whole world reflecting. Keep observing long enough, and see a glimpse of yourself on the other side.
