Continuing to work on the details. Soft brushstrokes, muted colors—all coming together to create a peaceful atmosphere. Sometimes it feels like the painting itself suggests which shades to choose. This process feels like meditation.

It sounds like a real creative process, where every stroke and colour becomes part of the inner world. When the painting ‘prompts’ the next steps, it's really like meditation - total immersion in the moment and in harmony with yourself. Do you feel that your work becomes more profound with each such experience?

Thank you, Oleksii! You’ve captured it perfectly—each step feels like a dialogue with the painting. And yes, every experience adds something deeper to my work, almost like discovering a new layer of myself. Do you find this kind of connection in your creative projects too?

Thank you! Absolutely agree, every creative process is not only about creating something new, but also an opportunity to discover new sides of yourself. In my projects I often find connections between a concept and the emotions it evokes, be it in words, images or ideas. This feeling of openness to new insights is always inspiring. Creativity is a process of self-discovery and each project becomes a step along that path. What aspects of creativity do you find most important for your development?

Beautifully said, Oleksii! Creativity truly is a journey of self-discovery. I think the most important aspect for me is the ability to stay open—to new ideas, emotions, and even challenges that shape the final work. Each project feels like it teaches me something unexpected. What inspires you most during your creative process?

Thank you so much! I totally agree - creativity is indeed a deep process of self-discovery and opens new horizons for ideas and self-expression. For me, inspiration comes in moments of unexpected discoveries and personal experiences. It can be something as simple as the play of light in the street, an unexpected turn in a conversation, or even a random glimpse of the world around me. It is often the unpredictability and unexpected moments that make you see things from a new perspective and inspire creativity. I also enjoy looking at the world through the lens of history and culture - past eras, the work of other artists and exploring how different cultures and times have influenced art are inspiring. It gives a fresh perspective and a chance to see things that may be overlooked in everyday life. What is the biggest source of inspiration for you in your artwork?

I love how you find inspiration in everyday moments—it's a reminder that creativity often comes from the simplest things. For me, nature is one of the biggest sources of inspiration. Its changing light, colors, and textures always spark new ideas. I also find that personal experiences, emotions, and memories can shape my work in unexpected ways, adding depth and authenticity. How do you capture those fleeting moments of inspiration and translate them into your projects?
