Floating Paradise. Turtle painting

As the turquoise waters of the vast ocean sparkle with crystal clear water, a turtle that wears a beret demonstrates its artful side. The little village that he's carrying on his shell represents a community of travelers and the togetherness of Explorers. You can see tropical plants growing in every direction, creating a lush, tropical floating paradise. In this interesting shabby town, there are a lot of windows and doors all over the place. This allows the small inhabitants to enjoy each other's company, share meals, and have a good laugh together. The turtle moves slowly and gently, so no one will notice any rough rocking, just gentle movement. With this surreal style painting, I want to combine vivid imagination and affection, appreciation and admiration for an ancient animal of the ocean.

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.
