Hi! I’m a musician from Kyiv. I recently finished my Master’s degree at the Ukrainian National Academy of Music. I play the domra — a traditional Ukrainian string instrument — and music has always been a big part of my life. I’ve taken part in various international competitions and festivals and enjoy performing both on stage and in public spaces. Together with a few friends, I sometimes travel to other cities where we play music — sometimes as street musicians, sometimes as part of cultural events. These trips give us a chance not only to share what we love, but also to meet new people and experience places in a more personal way. Besides music, I’m interested in modern art. I enjoy visiting exhibitions and small independent galleries. My favorite artists include Mark Rothko, Vincent van Gogh, and Jackson Pollock. I also like reading, long walks, cycling, and discovering new cities — both big and small.
