The peony flower amazes with its beauty. There are many symbolic meanings of this flower. There is a legend saying that peony is believed to be named after Paeon, the Greek physician of the gods. According to the legend, Paeon was a student of Aesculapius, the god of medicine. When Paeon used a peony root to heal Pluto — the first time this was tried — Aesculapius became jealous of his talents and tried to kill him. To save Paeon (and show compassion to him), Pluto transformed him into a peony, because he knew it was a flower that people would admire and praise. Thus, one of the peony's meaning is compassion.
I have always been close to art in its various forms. I studied at the musical school by the class of the violin and finished it, but did not see musician as a musician. Also danced in childhood. In Turkey, he worked as an animator, which also included creative activities related to dance and acting skills. I loved painting in my early childhood, probably like most children. At first, it was an intuitive meditative drawing, and later this enthusiasm turned into a true all-consuming love. They say that the teacher appears at a time when a student is ready for this. So I met the artist Lyubomyr Khudyak and began to study at his school "Artistic Attic". For me, this person is a true mentor who can inspire and support his students. The artworks are in private collections in Ukraine, Australia, Hungary and Turkey.
