Sacred Arbores

The painting was inspired by my memories of visiting Gethsemane in Jerusalem. The olive trees there have witnessed many tragic and joyful events. These ancient trees endure dramatic lives, struggling for survival against extreme temperatures, winds, and dry soil. Yet, they persevere and produce fruit that plays a vital role in religious ordinances and traditions.

I am a self-taught artist, born and raised in Ukraine. I was converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1993 when it first started in my country. My journey as an artist began during my teenage years, but I put it aside to focus on my academic pursuits. In 2020, I reignited my passion for creating, returning to the affection I had once set aside. 

In my art, I strive to find greatness in the simple things and highlight the often-overlooked beauty in the world around us. I aim to explore meaningful moments, often incorporating hidden details that reflect truth and invite deeper reflection. I firmly believe in the transformative power of art—not just as a visual medium, but as a way to reach into our homes and connect profoundly with our spirits.
