The work was painted in a light mood with mysterious music. The canvas depicts my favorite animals - horses late at night on a full moon. A slight frost adorned the valley with hoarfrost. In the distance, picking out fresh grass from under the light snow, horses graze. And only one listens carefully. Perhaps it heard a secret melody. Or maybe this creature itself is like a melody of beauty.
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.
