My Path
My artistic language is deeply rooted in my life and professional experience. I was born in Pridnestrovie, where I studied psychology and literature, exploring how language, memory, and identity shape human perception. For eight years, I led the non-profit organization “Healthy Future”, which continues to operate today, providing psychosocial support to people living with HIV and those struggling with addiction.
This experience gave me a profound understanding of human resilience, trauma, and healing — themes that continue to shape my artistic practice. At the age of 28, I immigrated to Canada and started a new life from scratch in Toronto. Without knowing the language or having connections, I built a successful floral company, which, within ten years, became one of the top five in the city. Yet, despite entrepreneurial success, my fascination with memory, the unconscious, and human identity never left me.
The pandemic became a turning point: I stepped away from business and returned to psychology, earning certifications in coaching and transformative practices. This period of deep research and self-reflection led me back to my first love — art, allowing me to merge psychology, personal narratives, and artistic practice into one evolving language.
Fifteen years of living in Canada have given me a unique perspective.
Through psychological consultations with people from diverse cultures, religions, and social backgrounds, I’ve studied how human experiences, memories, and perceptions differ — and how profoundly we are connected by our shared unconscious.
For me, art is more than aesthetics.
It is a language of connection — a way to speak about what cannot be said, to touch upon unspoken memories, inherited wounds, and untold stories that live within each of us.
