Greetings! My name is Sasha Butenko and I paint pictures. I come from Kherson and since childhood I dreamed of becoming an artist, but I did not have the opportunity to attend an art school. My life is different from the life of others, because I grew up in an orphanage until I was 16 years old. After finishing school, I was sent to study as an electromechanic. While studying at the institute, my creative nature did not give rest and I began to develop independently in the artistic field: I watched videos and practiced knowledge. This is how my first paintings were born. Creativity for me is an integral part of life. This is a time where I can dream, analyze, reproduce inner emotions on canvas and simply enjoy the process. My dream is to create a creative space and inspire people through canvas. Today I am taking the first but decisive steps towards my goal.
