One of the most beautiful creatures on earth is being exterminated for its skin and fur. Graceful independent cats are on the verge of extinction. I admire the beauty of their color, smooth movements, and strong muscles. I speak for those who cannot defend themselves - save these beautiful animals. Stop killing them. The portrait of a snow leopard shows the depth of the soul of this big cat, and its eyes are like a window to another dimension. Will we not see these most beautiful creatures soon?!
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.
