The artist about himself:

“As a professional artist, I started my career late, at 61 years old. But it is possible that this was what should have happened. Everything has its time. Rich life experiences have become the source of my creativity. My art is ambiguous and unlike any other, probably because “I paint with my heart." Sometimes I use an intuitive drawing, namely: not from life or from a photograph, but only what suits the subconscious, soul, heart.

Most importantly and completely unexpectedly for me, after a series of works I began to understand where my images come from... I think that I or my essence saw them in our past or future life.

Despite my little experience, I already have more than two hundred paintings, about forty of them have found “their home" in private collections and museums."

The paintings are in the Lutsk Art Museum, in the Korsakov Family Museum of Contemporary Art.
