About me

“You cannot hide anything in a line. You are there whatever line you draw. And you will stay there, even when you go somewhere else. If you personality is interesting enough, the line will be interesting. To do this you have to be fearless.”
— Kazuaki Tanahashi

My journey of learning about the creative process of Japanese calligraphy and painting has started a while ago and while I am not able to practice this wonderful art form as often as I would like, it has allowed me to experience inner freedom. Creative process involves our body, mind, thoughts, heart, breath and energy and calligraphy practice has allowed me to have occasional glimpses of wholeness of our being.

As for my personal story, I was born in Ukraine, but have lived in a number of countries and then life brought me to the UK, where I have started my professional career as an investment banker and most recently as a venture capital investor. A snapshot of my investment portfolio is below.

I hope that some of my art pieces will resonate with your creative thinking and I would be happy to hear from you if there is something you want to discuss.
