Rhythm of Strength, oil on canvas , 70x 100 cm
"Les Rois Tendres", 50x50 cm, oil on canvas In the quiet embrace of the jungle night, beneath a sky painted in deep, mysterious hues, two lions rest side by side. The world around them fades into shadows as they share a peaceful moment, their connection as soft and unspoken as the breeze that rustles through the trees. Their golden fur glows faintly under the stars, a subtle reminder of their quiet strength. This is their sanctuary, where even the darkest night can’t dim the warmth they find in each other.
**"Eyes of the Jungle"**, Öl auf Leinwand, 40x50 cm Dieses Gemälde fängt den intensiven Blick des Tigers ein, dessen Ausdruck durch kräftige, kontrastierende Farben gestaltet ist, die sowohl Ruhe als auch eine kraftvolle, zugrunde liegende Stärke widerspiegeln. Durch sanfte Übergänge und detaillierte Pinselstriche wird das Fell des Tigers lebendig, was das Gemälde zu einem faszinierenden und dynamischen Mittelpunkt macht. Seine majestätische Haltung symbolisiert Stärke, Selbstvertrauen und Ausdauer – Eigenschaften, die ich während der Entstehung dieses Werks in mir selbst gesucht habe. Ich malte diesen Tiger, weil ich meinen eigenen Mut finden musste. Seine wilde, aber zugleich ruhige Präsenz inspirierte mich, meine eigenen Schwächen zu konfrontieren und persönliche Herausforderungen zu überwinden. Dieses Kunstwerk spricht diejenigen an, die sich mit dem wilden Geist der Tiere verbinden, besonders jene, die Kunst suchen, die mehr ist als nur Dekoration, sondern ein Symbol innerer Stärke.
‘Melody in Motion’, oil on round canvas, 6o cm diameter 🎶 When Music Paints 🎶 Ever had an album hit you so deeply that you couldn’t just listen—you had to paint? That’s exactly what happened when I listened to Jesús León’s “Passione” with the incredible Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra led by Toby Pulser. The entire performance felt like pure magic. The orchestra and tenor were so in sync, it was like watching swans glide across a lake — every note, perfectly timed. No over-the-top clichés here: it wasn’t just about 'inspiration,' it was more like being swept up in the rhythm and grandeur of the music. There’s something special about hearing an orchestra play — it hits different, you feel every swell of emotion, every pause

Der reiche Kontrast zwischen dem schwarzen und weißen Fell des Pandas und dem farbenfrohen Hintergrund schafft eine friedliche Szene, die Gefühle von Ruhe und Harmonie weckt. Ideal für Naturliebhaber und jene, die einen Moment der stillen Reflexion suchen.
Riders of the Wind: Scythian Elegance", Oil on canvas, 50x70 This painting draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of the Scythians (Скіфи), a nomadic people who flourished from the 9th century BCE to the 3rd century CE across the vast steppes of Eurasia, including my homeland, the Kharkivska region of Ukraine. The Scythians were known for their extraordinary reverence for horses, which they adorned with intricate gold jewelry, as seen in archaeological finds from their burial mounds. With remarkable craftsmanship, these adornments were believed to serve both as symbols of status and protection. This artwork captures the essence of a Scythian horse adorned with gold, inspired by the stunning examples of Scythian jewelry dating back to the 6th century BCE. In my research, I explored both ancient texts and modern interpretations, working with references from historical sources. The painting embodies the strength, beauty, and spirit of the Scythian people, who blurred the lines between warriors and artists. Scythian women, alongside men, were formidable riders and fighters, a fact that may have inspired the legends of the Amazons. "Golden Horse of the Scythians" is a tribute to this fascinating culture and its legacy, serving as a reminder of how ancient art and history can continue to inspire and connect us across time.
This black jaguar captures the mystery and power of the wild. Its intense gaze and sleek, shadowed form create a striking contrast with the bright, vibrant background.

"Whiskers of Tenderness", oil on canvas, 18x24 There’s something about this cat that I know will stay with me long after she’s gone. Though she was only with me for a week, she managed to fill my world with a tenderness so profound, it left a lasting mark. She was the embodiment of pure, unconditional love—so gentle and unassuming, yet so full of warmth. I’ve never known an animal quite like her, one who seemed to live only to offer comfort and affection. Cats have a way of moving through our lives, leaving soft, indelible paw prints on our hearts. This little one, with her quiet presence and loving gaze, taught me the beauty of simple, unspoken connection. Did you know cats spend nearly two-thirds of their lives sleeping? It’s as if they’ve mastered the art of contentment, reminding us to slow down and find joy in the quiet moments. This painting isn’t just a portrait—it’s a celebration of that tender spirit, a tribute to the fleeting yet unforgettable presence of a creature who loved without condition.
"Beneath the Blue", oil on canvas, 70x 100 cm This painting showcases two of the ocean’s coolest residents—a pair of dolphins gliding effortlessly through the water. Known for their playful personalities and remarkable intelligence, dolphins are like the stand-up comedians of the sea. They communicate through clicks and whistles, sometimes even naming each other with unique sounds! Fun fact: Dolphins are known to surf waves, just like humans! Whether they're riding ocean swells or playing with bubbles, their zest for life is infectious.
"Ocean Ballet", oil on canvas, 40x50 cm Imagine being at the edge of the ocean at twilight, where the last light of the day meets the deep, mysterious blue of the sea. "Ocean Ballet" brings that serene, magical moment to life on a 40x50 cm canvas. This painting captures the delicate dance of jellyfish as they float effortlessly through dark waters, their vibrant colors—ranging from soft pinks to glowing blues—contrasting beautifully with the inky background. These graceful creatures, painted with a mix of realism and artistic flair, seem almost otherworldly as they move with a quiet elegance that only nature can inspire. There's something calming, almost meditative, about watching them drift—like finding a moment of stillness in a chaotic world. But there’s more here than just beauty; there’s a story of resilience and flow, much like the one we all live. Just as these jellyfish go with the current, adapting and thriving in their environment, "Ocean Ballet" reminds us to embrace the ebb and flow of life, to find our rhythm and move with grace even in the face of the unknown. This piece isn’t just a visual treat; it’s a gentle nudge to take life a little slower, to appreciate the beauty in movement and stillness alike. Whether you're an ocean lover, a dreamer, or someone looking for a daily dose of tranquility, this painting brings a bit of the ocean’s wisdom into your space—inviting you to pause, reflect, and maybe even smile at the thought of these little dancers of the deep.
"Synchronized Symphony, Octopus", oil on canvas, 50x40 cm Octopuses—they’re not just the mysterious creatures lurking in the depths of the ocean, as some might believe. Many people still think of them as strange, cold mollusks, perhaps even casting them as the villains of the sea, tangled up in sinister associations. But here’s the truth: these incredible beings are far more than just a pretty (or maybe a slightly eerie) face. With about two-thirds of their neurons packed into their arms, octopuses are practically the puzzle-solving, tool-using, playfully brilliant magicians of the deep. My painting, "Synchronized Symphony, Octopus," inspired by the beautiful and touching documentary "My Octopus Teacher," (directed by Pippa Ehrlich and James Reed) captures this intelligence and grace. It’s a tribute to the unexpectedly tender bond that can form between humans and these clever creatures—because who knew an octopus could be such a sweetheart? Against the deep, calming blues of the ocean, this octopus shines in vibrant colors, each movement like a note in a perfectly choreographed symphony. There’s something almost poetic about the way its arms flow, each one contributing to a dance of pure, synchronized beauty. It’s as if this octopus is gently nudging us to rethink everything we thought we knew about life under the sea. And let’s be honest, who hasn’t wanted to have a deep-sea pen pal who’s smarter than your average pet? This painting is a reminder that sometimes the most surprising friendships are the ones we never expected, and that beneath those eight legs lies a heart ready to connect. "Synchronized Symphony, Octopus" invites you to look past the myths and meet the octopus for what it truly is: a creature of intelligence, playfulness, and yes—a whole lot of charm.
"Odyssey of Resilience", oil on canvas, 40x50 cm "Odyssey of Resilience" is a tribute to the tenacity and courage found in the natural world, inspired by a profound moment from a Netflix series exploring the vast mysteries of our universe. This painting tells the story of a newborn turtle’s heroic journey, as it braves the relentless challenges of the ocean—evading predators and battling the currents—on its quest for survival. The artwork captures the essence of resilience, bringing to life the quiet yet powerful struggle of the turtle as it navigates the deep. It serves as a reminder that even in the face of overwhelming adversity, there is always hope and a way forward. The beauty and depth of the ocean are reflected in every brushstroke, inviting viewers to pause and consider the strength that lies within all of us. This piece is more than just a depiction of nature; it’s an exploration of the enduring will to survive, offering a beacon of inspiration to those who face their own challenges. "Odyssey of Resilience" speaks to the heart, encouraging us to find courage in our own journeys and to never lose sight of the possibilities that await.
