Where were you born?
Ukraine
Where do you live now?
Pretty much everywhere, I travel a lot to meet new people and do more cool creative projects, but my boxes are now in Ukraine, Kiev.
In one sentence what is unique about your work?
The emotions I put in creating every artwork, it is very energetic and colorful, ugly and beautiful at the same time.
Why do you do what you do? It is freedom to me, the way I live now and work freelance is priceless time to me and I am enjoying every second of it. I love to see when people react with their art inspired by mine, for example loads of makeup artists recreate my artworks in their work- it is magnificent!!!
What inspires you?
A lot of contemporary artists, make up artists, illustrators and producers. Old movies about the artists such as Egon Schiele or Frida Kahlo. Also the understanding that we live one live and there is no need to plan your future every second, instead you must enjoy the present moment, that is what keeps me going on.
Describe your personal style.
Comfortable with a bit of punk rock touch.
Your ultimate must-have.
White Linen Shirt, leather jacket, BOOTS
What superpower would you have and why?
I would be able to turn into mermaid and live under the sea, because I am kind of obsessed with mermaids all my life.
What is next for you?
I am waiting for the project from very AWESOME creative person that lives in NYC, and I think we are gonna rock it and I can't wait to work with her ..it was a life dream and it is coming to life hopefully.
