BIOGRAPHY

My creative journey as a photo artist began in 2022, when I found myself in Germany as a refugee from the war in Ukraine. Without knowledge of the language, without money, at the age of almost 60 years and without the opportunity to work in my specialty as an obstetrician-gynecologist, as I have been for the last 40 years. But art came to the rescue!!! I bought a photo camera, found an online photography course from the photo academy and plunged headlong into this process. The search for my own style and style did not take much time - “Dutch still life” has firmly settled in my heart. This was followed by courses at a photography school on contemporary Fine Art photography by Anna Krauklis, where I deepened my knowledge in the chosen direction.Less than a year has passed since my photo paintings appeared on the covers of many world magazines. Also, my photo paintings were presented at 2 art exhibitions: in August 2023 in Munich, Germany, at the Galerini gallery and in March 2024 in Cannes, France, as part of the International festival of contemporari art "TRASE"My work was also recognized as an “Honorable mention” at the “Fine Art foto awards 2023-2024.” Life goes on, studies continue, and I am grateful to God for the opportunity to live 2 completely different life scenarios in one life!
