Is your jewellery connected to where you live?
Yes, it is. Directly and very strongly. I use real plants that I collect in Ukraine and in other countries of the world as a matrix form for my objects. Each ornament is a manifestation of the plant’s soul and the place where it is found.
What techniques do you use?
By creating my jewellery pieces, I direct people's views toward the beauty of nature that surrounds them. In my work, I use both artistic techniques of working with metals and technological processes in the field of electrochemistry.

Do you have a special professional memory?
Once a man came to my studio with his little daughter. She was holding a four-leaf clover in her hand. I was afraid of losing the leaf during the process, but I promised the child that she would receive a silver pendant in the form of this leaf. I fulfilled my promise and the girl was very happy.
What is your advice to aspiring jewellery makers?
Do not be afraid of difficulties. Failures are just lessons that fate sends us. Therefore, I would advise everyone to work hard and a lot. The more you work, the sooner the results of your work will bring pleasure to people and, of course, to you.
