I'm sitting in a coffee shop with a my notebook, my head full of ideas and thoughts that I'm reformatting into a sketch
Then I get a congratulatory message from my family
It turns out that today is Artist's Day in Ukraine
Today's my day 🥰

Today is a quiet Saturday, without any air raids
I hope it stays that way
Today I'm taking an autumn walk around the city center
I love the smell of rain and leaves 🍂

A coffee break helps you escape your daily routine a bit
And it's okay if it's in the evening 😅

Yes, sometimes it's really difficult to ship a painting if it's large. But with smaller formats, I haven't had any problems. The main thing is to issue a document for the painting before shipping, which needs to be affixed to the parcel containing it. I do this for the Department of Culture in Kyiv🤍

This place now heals his wounds.
A melody begins to play — a story of a journey.
A journey home

finally exhale, rest, and listen to the peace of his land,his beloved landscapes, the melody of his instrument.
Surrounded by the love of his woman, who understands him without words.
She simply stands beside him — presence as support, as healing.
He longed for this moment…

soil, blooming flowers, the cherry tree in blossom — all led him back to his yard, where she stood, her eyes full of light, her prayers having guarded his sky above.
His hands once held a saber, now they hold a kobza.
A Cossack who endured the long road home —who can…

by smoke, comrades falling one by one.
Every sunrise brought hope, every sunset — quiet sorrow.
And through it all, his thoughts were at home.
Many years later, he finally stepped onto his native land.
His gaze — thoughtful, weary.
A long road lay behind him.
The scent of fresh..

An expressive, sincere face framed by a soft smile.
He left behind his family home, where his parents had raised him,where his beloved waited, following him with her eyes as he went on a long journey.
Years of battles passed — the roar of war over the steppe,the sky blackened..

Painting “My thoughts, my thoughts”
2025

The story that came alive in the painting:

He left when he was in his forties.
His eyes had not yet seen loss and pain — his gaze and spirit were still sharp.
Energy radiated through his laughter, his voice filled every space…
