Description of the Artwork “Ocelot Wild Cat”
My painting from the series “Wildlife. Big cats” is dedicated to a beautiful creature ocelot. The number of these bright, graceful cats is regularly decreasing.

Traffic accidents have become a serious threat lately as ocelots try to move outside their habitat and collide with vehicles.

Nora, Denmark
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.
