Bio

She was born in 1984 in Ukraine and as much as she remembers with the advent of a simple camera always loved to take photographs. After marriage, she moved to Germany and went to study photography during the pandemic in 2020. Her path began with mobile photography. Over time having bought the camera she completed several more photography courses. She always liked to practice herself and this has grown into a distinct art, self-portrait. She says: ‘Making self-portraits was a way to learn myself better, to accept my personality and over the time it has become something more than just a self-portrait,  it has become an art.’ Her style is closely linked to the Renaissance and Dutch painting. Most of the work is nostalgic sometimes surreal. This nostalgic atmosphere gives her a certain amount of peace. She hopes this has the same effect on the person looking at her Portraits. She is now continuing to study art history and experimenting with styles.
