A series of works Neon of Poznan was created by me in 2015 in Poznan. It is one of the results of my six-month Gaude Polonia scholarship. As a temporary resident of Poland, I walked a lot. In particular, during these walks I took with me a drawing album and made a portrait of the city in a special way. Stopping from time to time. It is a portrait of what is heard and seen. We can say that this is a kind of visual poetry. Which resulted in a meditative language collage in which some of the works were partly used details from a local magazine from the music section of Neona Poznan. In each work of Neon of Poznan there is a certain image of the organism of the city.

The canvases were created in the open air in the Drinitsa, Slovakia in 2014

The paintings were created at the residence of the Museum of Contemporary Art (located on Hlybochytska Street in Kyiv) in the village of Plotynnoye, Crimea, in 2013.

A series of paintings "Beautiful and Disgusting" within the conceptual plein air project "Art - Concept II" law of unity and struggle of opposites. Crimea, Alushta, 2013
The "Beautiful and Disgusting" project includes 5 objects (compositions) measuring 95x95 cm.
"Igrafiya- Zh", "Igrafiya- E", "Igrafiya- I", "Igrafiya- B", "Igrafiya-R".
The works reveal the beautiful and the disgusting, good and evil, the relationship of the sea (nature) and urbanization
The items found in Alushta are used in each object. In particular, the image of the sea is transmitted by a collage of crumpled building material that has been in the open for a long time. The applications of glamorous magazines and the Crimean newspaper "Soroka" have an informative image associated with active urban life through the announcement and advertising of various things in the Crimea.
The aesthetics of the transformation of the beautiful is complemented by the image of the disgusting which is enhanced by the hair used in the works.
In addition to the above images, the object "Igrafiya-Zh" presents the struggle of a spiritual-vegetarian image with a greedy person - an animal whose menu includes meat dishes. The struggle of spirit and matter. The topic touches on social, moral and aesthetic issues.
