Coffee break and the embankment
With the arrival of spring, I felt the urge to paint a landscape picture to capture the atmosphere of spring🤍

smiles, tears, fear, kindness, a sense of hopelessness
And the strangest feeling is that everything that's happening isn't happening to you, but you're simply observing it from the outside
Like a movie
This is probably what spring looks like during war

A cozy evening, a stroll with friends, and conversations over a cup of coffee at a local cafe
It already smells of spring outside, flowers are sold all around, and war
It's a very mixed bag of feelings
Anxiety, fleeting bursts of happiness, silence, fatigue…

🤍🤍🤍

Let your bright thoughts blossom in your head like these flowers in the painting🤍
and let the chaos that is happening remain in the background
This is the main meaning of the painting "In My Head"

Good morning!
I'm sharing my creative process with you 🤍

This is a painting "In My Head"
(the second painting)

A painting about the inner experiences, thoughts, and struggles within each person

evening in Kyiv

Spring, a notebook, and coffee
I'm trying to gather my thoughts to write a text
Today I mailed a painting to a customer, and I feel empty inside
This happens after every painting

It's been a while since I've been to my favorite park.
It's evening, the end of the work week, and the birdsong calms me down.
Have a nice weekend everyone 🤍

For every donation, support, words of kindness, and simply for your position
For being here and with us

Слава Україні!
Героям Слава!

Every day, Ukraine and Ukrainians fight for freedom, life, and independence
Think about it
A fight for what every person is given—the right to exist
Our soldiers, thank each of them
Thank each of you who is with us and Ukraine….

Every minute felt like an hour, and there was no understanding of what would happen next
And today
4 years of full-scale war have already passed
12 years of war
An incredible amount of grief, loss, and pain….

Pain, the daily struggle for freedom and life, fear, destruction and death, and the shattering of life before and after
In the first days of a full-scale invasion, if we had all been told the war would last more than a month, we would have gone mad….

💯❤️

Дякую ☺️❤️🫂

I'll share the story very soon☺️❤️

I'm really glad that you remembered that flower 😅

The painting "In My Head"
60*90 cm
Kyiv, Ukraine

This is the second painting in this series
The painting is about thoughts, feelings, and the importance of focusing on goodness and light
I'll write more about this painting on Patreon soon
But…

It's Monday!
The scent of spring is already in the air. I'm inspired by the colors and textures of the trees
Happy Monday everyone 🤍

Today I picked up the painting and went to the coffee shop
The barista tip jar had the inscription "for restoring mental health"
It made me smile after such a hard night

This is what this night looks like in Ukraine
#RussiaIsATerroristState

I'll drag out the intrigue a little longer and soon I'll share the result
I'm very happy with it🤍

since this varnish highlighted the colors and gave depth to the dark shades of the painting
This varnish has a matte finish and at the same time saturates each color of the paint…

I mostly use odorless varnishes and can varnish paintings at home
But I needed a certain effect from the varnish
I found a room this weekend where the painting will dry
When I varnished the painting, I realized it was the right decision…

After a productive night last night, I spent time varnishing the painting
I spent a long time thinking about where I could do this, since the varnish I chose to use has a strong odor
I wondered for a long time whether it was necessary to complicate the process so much

A sleepless night and the painting is ready
It's a very pleasant moment when I sign a painting and at the same time sad
Each painting is like a part of me

Friday evening with a book and coffee
I bought this book about 3 years ago and still can't finish it
All this time I couldn't concentrate and often reread the same page several times
Anxiety
Although before the large-scale war, I often read books
