ARTIST — ART THERAPIST Born in Ukraine in 1963, currently residing in Spain. 

She holds a higher medical education and a PhD in Medical Sciences. In recent years, she has focused on Psychology and Gestalt Therapy as her primary professional direction. As part of her personal growth and artistic development, she integrates art therapy into her work. This powerful psychological tool allows her to engage in dialogue with the audience and explore the nature and essence of emotional challenges by visualizing them in her paintings. She constantly explores new techniques and materials to expand her artistic skills and possibilities. She has received additional training from the international online school SKVOT and the International School of Art and Communication by Julia Sysalova. She continues to refine her craft by attending masterclasses from academic art instructors in Spain.

My journey into the world of art began with art therapy — a method that utilizes creativity to uncover hidden emotions and feelings that hinder inner harmony. Through acrylic on canvas, I strive to bridge the conscious and subconscious, emotions and reason. My work expresses the emotions of individuals experiencing stress and inner conflict. I seek to visualize destructive states such as fear, anxiety, despair, doubt, emptiness, and pain. In my paintings, I aim to evoke associations that bring these suppressed emotions to the surface. By doing so, I encourage the viewer to engage in self-exploration, understand their inner self, and learn to regulate their emotional world. I am particularly drawn to Symbolism with elements of Surrealism. Through imagery, symbolism, and artistic techniques, I convey deep human emotions and unveil the essence of my work.
