The Extended Family of my Childhood
21 artworks
In this category, I immerse myself in the memories of my childhood, which was dominated by the extended family, on my father's side. By the means of 'heads' painting, I bring them back to life. In addition, my memory produces childhood situations that I capture in childlike watercolor sketches.
The Man Without A Suit
5 artworks
The moment when Ukraine was pulled into war by Russia, a war of aggression that violates longstanding international law, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Selenskyj stopped wearing the usual presidential clothing, i.e. a western type suit. And he continued to stick to that habit, wherever he travelled to visit other countries' leaders.

Dreams of Having a Family of My Own
20 artworks
It is God's secret what's in our deck of cards. For better or worse, mine did not include a partner and a family of my own. Which is not unusual, or even typical, for a life dedicated to creation, consummated by art-making. Dreams, however, occur, they come and they go, by day or by night. In this series, I capture them mostly in small format.
