Herobora Myhaylivna Zdraste

Let me write about myself in simple words. My nickname can be translated as "Big Unclear Respected Thing, Hello". And this is very much about my whole attitude towards life. I worked in design, commercial illustration and in art-crafts for many years. The war in my country forced me to seriously reconsider my life path and it made me decide to start new path as an artist while I have just some time. I am looking for ways to rethink the accumulated life experience and I have something to say not literally, so I add a little surrealism and a little irony to my works. What else inspires me: I am a curator of a group of street cats, constantly donator for cats shelters and I have two cats rescued from the street - cats inspire me, I love their plasticity and facial expressions and the prices of food and medicine for my pets force me to do very brave things, for example, registering on Jose Art Gallery in order to sell my works. Drawing and painting cats is my second constant art theme. Scary-ironic and cute.There is some polarity in this, but well, it has a right to exist.
