Since my youth, my attention has been focused on art and its profound understanding. Six years of studying drawing and painting laid the foundation for my perception of the artistic process: the academic school gave me a clear understanding of form, composition, and plasticity. At the same time, I explored the art of stained glass, which allowed me to engage with a more decorative and applied side of the artistic world. Over the years, I have continuously broadened my horizons:visiting galleries, art salons, and exhibitions became for me not just a source

of inspiration but a true practice of exploration that shaped my taste and artistic sensibility. Building a collection of works by Ukrainian artists was yet another step toward a meaningful dialogue with art. In recent years, I have been actively engaged in organizational work. As a member of the UN Women’s

Guild (UNWG), I regularly participate in weekly art workshops as well as in the preparation and curation of exhibitions together with an extraordinary team of exceptionally talented artists and creative individuals. This experience allowed me to unite what once seemed like parallel spheres of my life—my love for visual art and my professional background in analytics, finance, and management. Today, my work within the art association is a space of synergy: art becomes a bridge connecting different worlds and perspectives, while our remarkable team of like-minded individuals transforms any idea into a vivid and inspiring event.
