Welcome to my web site!

My career has started in 1994, when I have entered Lviv College of Decorative Arts, division of art ceramics. There was a good training for artisans, but, unfortunately, there weren't any opportunities for original creation. This college didn't provide place for uncommon ideas. I trust, the situation is changing, due to young teachers.
Having completed four years of my college studies, I've found no sense to continue education in that College. Therefore, in 1998 I've entered Lviv Academy of Arts. There the situation was exactly converse: total absence of material and technical resources on the one hand, and unlimited space for creative ideas on the other hand. Probably, just there my ability to create from nothing was cultivated. I have learned to create works, worthy of attention, which even took prize-winning places at exhibitions.
This experience proved useful to me later, when in 2004, I've graduated from the academy and faced with the choice what shall I do next. Being without a penny, I needed to survive, considering that perspective of working as an office designer under advertising agencies and publishing houses terrified me.
That was a start. The heap of stained glass fragments, left over by my hostel housemate, the cheapest glasscutter for 1 $, borrowed muffle in a terrible condition, my brain and my hands - that's all I had. I've tried to melt stained glass and to make from it something like adornment. Of course, nothing came out of it. One little fragment among kilograms of fused muck has brought hope to me. Since that time, I have made thousands of successful and vain attempts, spoiled dozens of square meters of expensive glass until I did not get good result.
I continue to experiment with material still now. Glass provides infinite possibilities for this. Every time I find some surprise in it. Besides, technology of glass fusing is such admirable, that each item is unique. It is impossible to make exact copy.
My job, my hobby, and my rest has fused. Work gives me a great pleasure, and when I have a rest, I take pencil and draw, because ideas overfill my head.
At present, I use high quality materials of world-famous manufacturers, such as Uroboros, Spectrum Glass, and Heraeus. My goods sell well in many galleries of Ukraine, Poland, and Canada.
I am always glad to your opinions, requests and comments.
