Beach bums

Beach bums

Couple is relaxing in their foldable chairs, pretending the summer is never-ending in this painting. Taking advantage of these holiday moments, they park their combi van at the beach and relax. It's a well-deserved break and they are savoring every minute of it.

Living by the beach, listening to the waves and sitting by the water inspired me to paint this painting. For me, it brings so much joy to immerse myself in art like this as well. It's a peaceful life.

At first, large and loose brushstrokes were used to create this painting and then smaller fine details were added at the end. I have signed it at the front and it measures 20 x 20 cm.

From an early age, I was drawn to creative expression, discovering my passion for art as soon as I could hold a crayon.
I pursued this passion academically, earning a degree in Art Education in Ukraine, which laid the foundation for my artistic and teaching career.
After relocating to Australia in 2002, I continued to develop my practice and actively sought opportunities to exhibit my work.
I have since participated in various art prizes and exhibited in local galleries, while also sharing my knowledge through teaching, both in my home studio and within the school community attended by my children.
For me, art is more than a passion; it is a lifelong journey of exploration, growth, and connection. Through both my creative practice and teaching, I aim to inspire others to experience the joy and transformative power of art. My work has allowed me to engage with audiences locally on the Gold Coast and internationally, reinforcing my belief in creativity as a universal language that enriches lives.
