    My art is a reinterpretation of the Byzantine iconographic tradition through a personal visual language. My artistic practice is deeply inspired by the icon — by its call to profound meanings, the process of seeking understanding in allegories and symbols, and how their significance is projected onto the contemporary world. Through my works, I aim not only to preserve and cultivate the artistic and cultural value of the icon, but also to affirm its relevance today. My focus on sacred art stems from the core values of Christian morality, such as goodness, selfless love, sacrifice, and justice. A key leitmotif in my sacred painting is the concept of light — a light that expands the boundaries of consciousness, illuminates, and transforms. I seek to achieve the effect of inner radiance within the figures, experimenting with color, texture, and tone. The resulting image draws the viewer in and invites interaction, echoing the light of Divine Glory that leaves its imprint — a seal. From that moment, it becomes a reference point. The ongoing challenges of full-scale war compel me to choose iconographic subjects whose central themes are the victory of good over evil and life over death. This victory is possible through resistance and the sacrificial act of Christ — a sacrifice now mirrored in the actions of Ukrainian soldiers. After death comes the moment of Resurrection — a hope we, too, hold onto in the context of the current war. My art strives to illuminate the darkness, offer new hope, and sustain faith in the possibility of rising from the ashes. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” — and perhaps that is why sacred art continues to serve as a source of strength across centuries, especially in times of hardship. In my future work, I aim to explore the context of war as a transformative force — one that reshapes the Ukrainian nation and the global world at large.
