Certified artist and art conservator. He graduated from the Lviv National Academy of Art in 2013. He gained experience working on objects of sacred architecture and conserving works of easel painting. He has been working on his own paintings for 19 years. He chose the oil technique, the secrets of which he also explores from the scientific side. He devoted his master's thesis to the history and technology of oil painting. Still experimenting, he tries to recreate the painting techniques of Baroque masters such as Caravaggio, Velasquez and Vermeer. However, technique is only a tool to show his own feelings and imagination.
