«Noise»

This work uses two canvases with different images.

The lower canvas is the inner world of a person.
The top canvas is noise – information from the outside, television, radio, the Internet, social networks, the thoughts and values of other people, the values that the marketing strategies of various companies instill in us. It all envelops us from all sides, merging with the noise and creating obstacles on the path to self-knowledge.

Kyiv Night

In winter 2022 in the darkest times for Ukraine, we preserved the holiday and presented the “Kyiv night” project, inspired by the beauty of our beloved city.
Kyiv constantly demonstrates endurance, indomitable spirit and fantastic views of the night city to its residents. The windows of the department store are decorated with a series of author’s illustrations of landmarks and recognizable modern buildings of the capital under the moonlight.
