Short Bio

The soul that chose to live! The soul that chose to create! The soul that chose to give joy!

Statement

ROArtUS - more colors for your life!

My concept is - I want, I can, I do!

My paintings are divided into 3 forms of their creation:

- I feel inspired to draw, I start to draw and a picture is born in one go

- I see a picture in my imagination immediately in finished form and display it in color on canvas in one go

- I understand that the picture that I want to paint conceptually contains much more than I can depict now, I start in the moment and continue to draw it in fits and starts for weeks and as a rule it is impossible to predict how the final result will look like.

My assistant are canvas and acrylic paints.

I started painting immediately with acrylic on canvas. For me, this is the most comfortable environment for creation.

Right now I'm experimenting with acrylic pens and Iridescent acrylic.

I am inspired to create in the styles of Impressionism, Decorative and Abstract.

In my free time, I browse online galleries of artists that inspire me, our worlds connect and something new is born, for example, my series of paintings of various vases appeared.

I can't no draw this is my flow of happiness!

I wish everyone to find their own flow of happiness!

Biography

RO_Art_US - more colors for your life!

I am Ukrainian American artist. I create for the soul.

Ever since my childhood, I drew every time I got a chance. Later on, I worked at jobs that often required drawing skills – like making ads and decorating shop windows. Then, I worked as a successful interior designer, always drawing my designs by hand.

Now I have found my passion for creativity for the soul. I never do sketches for my paintings, I always draw what I feel at the moment. I feel a special connection with nature, which is why many of my paintings depict the sea, flowers, and landscapes. I consider freedom to be the main value - the freedom to live while creating, to choose for the soul, to act with love, to fall asleep with gratitude…

Paintbrush and blank canvas are like a path to a new life for me.
They fill my exulting heart with rapturous love, letting me see the indescribable beauty around, which I hope to share with You…

What prompted me to pick up the brush? I think it was fate. As I lived in another country, my life was filled with bright events.
But suddenly, everything turned upside down. When I arrived in America, I did not know the language. I became mute and all I could do was contemplate a new life, new amazing nature…
With that, glee and feelings overwhelmed my heart and I found a way out for them—through my brush and a blank canvas…After all, sees, flowers and other parts of nature do not know language barriers, they speak the language of great love to us.

I get into a fairy tale when I see the canvas in front of me ...
There is so much going on in the soul ...
There is something in my soul that I have not yet found ...
I am looking for it when the brushes are in my hand ...
While I listen to it, but so far it has not been fully revealed to me ...
