I’m continuing to paint my polymer clay figures Can you guess who this is?

And guess what? On my way home, I found a chestnut lying on the road I brought it home so I’d have a real-life reference to work from 🌰

Today, on my way to the store, I was thinking about how to paint the polymer clay pieces shaped like chestnuts I was wondering about the right shade of green and how to make them look as realistic as possible…

Wednesday Today I’m working on my polymer clay pieces with a drill bit, carefully removing imperfections and smoothing out the details Every stage of creating these decorative pieces is beautiful

Monday🌻 After work, I was enjoying my coffee when I noticed this beautiful sunflower growing among the flower beds. Let’s take an example from it: keep shining, even when the world around us feels dark

My little "babies" that I sculpted from polymer clay 🤍 After sculpting them, I baked them to make the pieces hard and durable The next steps are sanding, painting, and finishing them with varnish

Sharing a little behind-the-scenes look at the sculpting process behind my handmade pieces 🤍

Morning after a night of missile attacks One of the missile strikes landed so close that it felt like it hit right in the courtyard The air still smells of smoke And here I am, with my morning coffee, trying to gather my thoughts

Today I finally started sculpting! After spending so much time creating sketches and shaping forms for my future accessories, I’ve finally made the first piece out of four The last time I worked with clay was about five years ago, and I’ve really missed the process 🤍

Monday This is what my desk looks like today I didn’t think sketching out the ideas would take me this long And I’m still searching for inspiration I’ll keep sharing the process with you

Friday evening Sharing a little video of my painting with you and showing you some of the details For now, I’m just enjoying the art while I still can, because soon this painting will be leaving on a journey to its new home 🤍

For me, this is a place where I can switch off my mind, slow down, and just breathe A place where I find inspiration and feel connected to the city I love

walk through the park several times, sometimes without even realizing how much time has passed The park itself is quite small, but it is filled with a beautiful energy — the energy of all the people who come here, meet, walk, talk, and simply spend a moment together …

My painting "Taras Shevchenko Park" is finally finished This park in Kyiv holds a very special place in my heart It has been a source of warmth and comfort for me during some of the most difficult times Whenever I have the chance, I come here and…

Signing a painting is the final stage of its creation — and it always makes me a little sad Throughout the entire time I was painting this piece, I felt like I was walking through the landscapes it depicts Taras Shevchenko Park, with a view of Taras Shevchenko National…

This is exactly what the end of my weekend looks like.

I love chestnut trees Today, this one reminded me of the tokens that used to be used in the Kyiv Metro Paying by card is definitely more convenient, but those little tokens had a certain charm to them

Today is my art supplies shopping day There are two stores I absolutely love going to and stocking up at — the art supply store and the candy store Every other store gives me a headache😅

Working on the painting continues, and I’m getting completely lost in the process It feels like time simply stops while I’m painting I’m having a coffee after a long workday, and I noticed the image on the cup I think this astronaut and I have a lot in common today

I'm here today too

I came to the park to carefully observe all the details of the landscape I'm currently painting on my canvas This past week has been filled with a quiet inner anxiety Now I'm trying to find a sense of inner peace

Wednesday The flowers that made me stop today and simply enjoy the moment Sunflowers are like little suns it's impossible to walk past them without stopping They remind us that inspiration, kindness, and light are all around us Sometimes, all we need to do is pause and notice

While one painting is taking shape on the canvas, another is accidentally born on the palette I used to paint in a similar style, but I know that no matter how carefully I plan every step, I could never intentionally recreate a result like this That's the magic of creating

Step by step, I’m painting every corner of the canvas Sometimes it feels like half the day has passed and nothing has changed But that’s exactly how a painting comes to life—through hundreds of small decisions, with every brushstroke adding depth, light, and life to the piece

I spend a lot of time focusing on the smallest details, and sometimes I catch myself getting completely absorbed in them But the most beautiful moments are when my mind goes quiet, and my hands simply take over the painting process That's exactly what's happening right now

Friday evening And today, I finally have a little time to paint I absolutely love painting on a red underpainting and leaving touches of that red visible throughout the artwork It gives the painting more depth, energy, and a truly painterly feel

It’s Wednesday Still tired after another night I recently decided to take a break from coffee… but definitely not today Off to grab a coffee and get back to working on my painting

Today, the painting I'm working on feels even more personal After everything that happened night, I'm pouring all my love for my city into this canvas I think many of you will recognize this place Art can't erase the pain or undo the destruction, but it can preserve…

The morning after the massive attack In my opinion, this was the most brutal attack since the war began Normally, Monday mornings are full of life and movement, but today the streets are unusually quiet, with very few people outside…

Creativity has the power to heal people both the artist and those who appreciate art I prepared my canvas, applied a red underpainting, and sketched the composition Now I’m moving on to the next stage the painting process itself
