At first there was a search… a search for happiness, the meaning of life, harmony. Since early childhood, I loved to sculpt and invent various devices, I invented cities and could play in an imaginary world. At school, I loved mathematics in all its manifestations, and my acquaintance with drawing and painting was given to me by lessons at an art school. A technical mindset and a craving for art and beauty eventually led me to creating dolls. This happened completely unexpectedly, when I first came to a doll exhibition and could not live without trying to create something similar myself. I found that very cherished business, doing which I become happy and make other people happy Working on a doll combined all my knowledge and skills accumulated earlier. And a vast horizon for new insights opened up. Working on dolls combined invention, development of collapsible structures, thinking through drawings and frames, sculpture, working with color and searching for spiritual harmony. And most importantly, it is working on yourself and communicating with people who are on the same wavelength with you. And when the accumulated knowledge began to overwhelm me, then students appeared, whom I love very much and every time I prepare for classes with inspiration and great trepidation. It is impossible to achieve the ideal, but the path to it is incredibly interesting! There is a lot of uncertainty, evil and sadness in life, but in my soul there lives an idea of ​​beautiful and spiritually rich people and it is these images that I want to share with other people, to tell them how wonderful they are. Education: I graduated from art school (5 years), where I learned the basics of painting, sculpture and decorative and applied arts.Received a bachelor’s degree at the National University named after T. Shevchenko, faculty of cybernetics. Attended sculpture courses for a year. Additionally, I independently studied painting and art history.
