My name is Kseniya.

I was born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine, and came to Canada at the age of seventeen. My artistic journey began very early in childhood, surrounded by music — my grandmother’s and father’s piano and guitar playing, singing, and the creative atmosphere of our home.

At the age of five, I began my studies at a Kyiv Music School of Arts, where my major was piano. Alongside music, I was fortunate to explore ballet, choral singing, music history, and visual arts. Creativity quickly became something I gravitated toward naturally, not only in school but in everyday life. Creating felt exciting, grounding, and endlessly inspiring.

After moving to Canada, I continued my education in Graphic Design and Art and earned a diploma from Mohawk College. Over the years, I also completed intensive studies in acrylic painting and, more recently, received a certificate in Art Gallery Management. Learning has always been an ongoing part of my creative life — art is a subject without limits, and there is always more to explore.

My “why” as an artist has evolved over time. Today, I create art to form a sensory space for exploration, connection, and sharing. This is why my gallery spans a wide range of subjects and styles. Through my art, I continue to discover myself, my capabilities, and new ways of expression. Even after years of study and practice, imagination remains limitless.

Over the past decade, my curiosity has deepened toward Scandinavian art, particularly its ornaments and patterns. My interest in Scandinavian history began much earlier and has gradually grown into a meaningful artistic direction. It is a path I feel deeply connected to and one I look forward to exploring further.

I cannot end this section without acknowledging the greatest compass of my creative journey — my daughter, Sophie. Her presence in my life has led me into a deeper immersion in art and creativity over the past ten years. You can read more about her journey on my blog page, “Sophie’s Story.” She is, in many ways, the heart behind my work.

I am truly grateful for your presence here. I hope you find something within these pages that speaks to your heart and soul. Thank you — from me, and on behalf of Sophie — for your support and for visiting my website.

With warm hugs,
Kseniya
