This series I created in Amsterdam, where I am temporarily staying with my children due to the war in Ukraine. This is a continuation of the work started in 2023

It arose from a love from native Ukrainian Decorative Art, The "Petrikivskyi painting" and different examples of Naive Ukrainian Art served as a narrative for me.

I even feel a therapeutic effect from this work. This series is about a beautiful world, love and affirmation of life. For me, these floral still lifes are like a bridge with the current place of residence and the Motherland, they are my inspiration to live and create.

I am from Kyiv. My interest in photography led me to the Kyiv School of Photography. During the year of study, I gained experience and discovered the world of artistic photography. She studied artistic aesthetics and composition with the Ukrainian photographer and art critic Dmytro Bogachuk.
Photography for me is self-expression, a unique language. Here there is freedom to express oneself, to create, to evoke emotions in the audience.
