Your first impression of meeting a horse was magical. You felt the warmth and kindness of an animal. His wet breath uneasily enveloped you. And you perceived calmness and tenderness. In the painting, the artist tried to convey his impression of her meeting the horse. In the dead of night, when the rain is pouring, through the fog it reaches you out with its lips. And it's a little scary, and interesting, and you can feel the magic. The thinner was used to make random traces of paint on the canvas. Thanks to this, the painting turned out to be ghostly and the image is barely discernible.
I was born in a small Ukrainian town in 1971. I have never been taught art. But I draw and paint every moment of my life. As a child, I lived in a house with lots of animals and observed their behavior. I learned to portray the emotions and movements of pets on her own since there was no art school in the town. Fleeing the war, I appeared in Denmark where I am based now. With my brush, I research emotions with the aim of opposing and finding common ground between human and animal psychology. In my works, I strive to awaken empathy and pay tribute to animals that fill our lives with devotion and love, and inspire us with their natural beauty. I speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
