The paintings
One from each room
One painting from each room of the collection. Every one is an original oil on canvas, painted once.
About
About me
I am a Ukrainian impressionist painter, living and working on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. Every painting begins in my studio and is created entirely by hand, in my own emotional impressionist style, using professional artist oils, palette knives and brushes.
I paint forests, flowers, seascapes, cityscapes and sacred subjects, always working towards colour, atmosphere and expressive texture. Thick strokes of the knife give each canvas a sculptural surface that photographs can only hint at, and collectors regularly write that the colours are even better in person.
I have been selling my work to collectors around the world since 2015. More than 800 original paintings are now held in private collections across 42 countries and hundreds of cities, including that of Chevalier Tony Clark, an American art consultant, curator and collector based in Los Angeles. Collectors have left more than 190 five-star reviews, often mentioning the colours, the careful packaging and the handwritten note that travels with every painting.
I work exclusively on gallery-stretched canvas with professional artist oils. Every painting is a one-of-a-kind original: I never paint the same picture twice, and no painting is ever repeated as a second canvas. Each work is signed on the front, signed and dated on the back, and arrives with a personalised certificate of authenticity.
I sell my original paintings and also offer fine art prints of my original artwork upon individual request. Available sizes and pricing are discussed individually. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me. A print is always described and sold as a print, never as an original painting.
The work
How these paintings are made
Almost everything here is built with a palette knife over brushwork. It is not a stylistic label. It changes what the object physically is, and it is the reason collectors keep writing that the painting is better in person than on the screen.
A brush pulls thinned paint into the weave of the canvas. A palette knife does the opposite: it picks up thick, near-neat paint and places it on the surface in one pass, keeping the edge of the blade. The result stands two or three millimetres off the fabric and casts its own small shadows, so the picture changes as you walk past it and again as the light in the room moves through the day. A photograph has two dimensions and cannot carry the third.
It also changes the colour. Blending two pigments with a brush always gives a third that is duller than either parent. Mixing paint subtracts light. When the knife lays a slab of yellow straight beside a slab of blue and leaves them unmixed, the blending happens in your eye instead, and the green stays bright. That is impressionism doing exactly what it was invented to do, and it is why a forest of mine reads as green from across the room and dissolves into unmixed turquoise, violet and red when you stand close to it.
The knife cannot do everything, and it would be dishonest to suggest otherwise. It cannot draw a fine line, make a soft gradient, or paint a face. It also cannot be corrected: lift a knife stroke and everything underneath comes away with it, so the decision has to be right the first time. So brushes do the structure, the edges and the detail, and the knife does the parts that should carry light: foliage, water, snow, sky, reflections.
Everything is painted with professional artist oils on gallery-stretched canvas over a wooden frame. Nothing is printed, outsourced or assisted. If you would rather see that than read it, there is a room of videos filmed in the studio while the paintings were still wet on the easel.
Collectors map
My art around the world
Every dot is a city where my paintings have found a home, cities and countries only, never a name or an address.
The collection
Find your subject
Just under two hundred original paintings are available at any one time, and each of them exists exactly once. These are the rooms they are sorted into, and a painting often belongs to more than one.
Forests
Where most of the work happens. Birch groves with the light coming through sideways, autumn paths buried in leaves, the same clearing under snow.
Landscapes
Open country: wildflower fields, stone cottages, haystacks, village churches, mountain meadows and the Spanish Mediterranean coast where I live.
Flowers
Poppies, peonies, sunflowers and whole meadows in bloom. Flowers are where the knife earns its keep: a petal can be one loaded stroke and nothing more.
Seascapes & sailing ships
Ships working through heavy weather, old vessels under a full moon, fishing villages, quiet evenings on the water. The most dramatic corner of the collection.
Romantic couples
Two figures on a forest path, at the edge of a lake, under the moon. The figures are small on purpose. These leave the studio most often as anniversary and wedding gifts.
Winter
Snow-laden pines, frost at first light, a village under moonlight. Snow is not white. It takes whatever colour the sky is giving it, and that is most of what these are about.
Fantasy & mystical
The narrative works: riders out of a turquoise dusk, wanderers between worlds, spirits in the trees. The story stays deliberately unfinished.
Sold works
More than six hundred paintings that have already gone to collectors. None can be bought. They are here because they show, better than anything else, what people actually chose.
Buying
What arrives, and what it costs
You are buying directly from the person who painted the picture. There is no gallery between us taking a share, and the email address on this site reaches me rather than an assistant.
- An original, not an edition. Every painting is hand-painted and exists in a quantity of exactly one. I never repeat a picture as a second canvas, which is also why a work can disappear between one visit and the next.
- Signed twice and documented. On the front, and again with the date on the back. A certificate of authenticity made out in the owner's name travels with it, or in the name of whoever is receiving it, if it is a gift.
- Ready to hang, never rolled. It ships stretched on its wooden frame, wrapped in a non-stick barrier against the paint, corner-protected and boxed. Rolling a knife-built surface cracks it, so it is not done here whatever the postage saves.
- Free shipping to the EU and the UK, and a flat insured rate elsewhere: €29 to the rest of Europe, €49 to the United States, €59 to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Indonesia, €68 to the rest of the world. It is charged once per shipment, so buying two paintings costs no more to send than one.
- The price you see is the price you pay. No packing surcharge, no insurance surcharge, no handling fee. Payment goes through Stripe on its own secure pages (card, Apple Pay or Google Pay), and card details never reach this site.
- Fourteen days to change your mind on anything from the catalogue, as EU consumer law provides. Until the painting is physically in your hands the transit risk is mine, not yours.
Outside the European Union a parcel crosses a customs border, and that part is worth understanding before you buy rather than after: original paintings executed entirely by hand are treated differently from ordinary goods in most tariff systems, and the news is usually better than people expect.

Questions & answers
Are the paintings originals or prints?
Every painting in the collection is a 100% hand-painted, one-of-a-kind original oil painting on canvas. I sign each on the front, sign and date it on the back, and include a personalised certificate of authenticity.
I also offer fine art prints of my own paintings on request, on museum-quality archival paper. A print is always listed and described as a print, never as an original. Write to me for sizes and prices.
How are the paintings shipped?
I ship every painting as a stretched canvas on a wooden frame, ready to hang, never rolled, and pack each piece to gallery standards. Orders to the United States travel by DHL Express; within Europe they go by Correos and local postal services. Every shipment is insured and tracked.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is free to the European Union and the United Kingdom. Other destinations pay a flat, insured rate shown at checkout: €29 to the rest of Europe, €49 to the United States, €59 to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Indonesia, and €68 to the rest of the world.
Do I have to pay customs or import fees?
Orders within the European Union have no customs charges. For other countries, any import duties or taxes applied by your local customs are the buyer's responsibility. Most collectors receive original art without extra charges, but rules vary by country.
What payment methods do you accept?
All payments are handled by Stripe on a secure checkout page: credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. I never see or store your card details.
How do I buy a painting?
Paintings with an Acquire button can be purchased instantly through Stripe's secure checkout. For any other work, use the enquiry button and I will reply personally.
Do you accept commissions?
Yes. I paint custom works on request: landscapes, forests, abstract works, fantasy compositions, angels, seascapes and historical sailing ships, in sizes from 8×12″ to 24×36″. Write to me with your idea and I will reply personally.
Is the frame included?
Each painting arrives stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang. The photos on my site show the paintings in interiors for scale; decorative outer frames shown in mockups are not included.
Can I buy more than one painting at once?
Yes. Add them to the cart and pay for the whole order in one go. Shipping is charged once per shipment, not once per painting. Two or three canvases travel to you for the same flat rate as one.
How long does it take to arrive?
Preparation in the studio takes 3–7 working days after payment, and parcels usually leave on Mondays. If a painting was finished recently and still needs drying time before it can safely be packed, you are told the date before it ships rather than after. Transit after that depends on the destination and on customs; unless we agree otherwise, delivery is no later than 30 days from the order.
Can I see the painting properly before I buy it?
Every painting page carries the full set of photographs and a diagram drawing that exact canvas to scale against a sofa and a person, so you can judge the size. There is also a room of videos filmed in the studio while the works were still wet on the easel. And any catalogue purchase can be returned within 14 days if the painting is not what you expected.
What if the painting I want has already been sold?
Each work is unique and can only be sold once, so when it is gone it is gone. There is no second copy and I do not repaint it. What I can do is paint something new starting from it: a different season, a different palette, a different size. Write to me, and have a look at the sold works too, since a painting you like there is the easiest way to begin a commission.
Do you paint larger sizes than the ones listed?
The catalogue runs up to 90 × 60 cm. For a commission I work from 20 × 30 cm (8 × 12″) up to 60 × 90 cm (24 × 36″). If a wall needs more than that, two or three canvases hung 5–8 cm apart and treated as one group usually work better than a single enormous one. The sizing rules are here.
