Born on March 12, 1963 in the city of Uman (Cherkasy region, Ukraine). Initially pursued a military career but showed a keen interest and aptitude for painting from a young age. Despite the potential for a successful path in the military, chose to follow his passion for art, dedicating over 55 years to creating oil paintings.
