What attracted you to your current workspace?<\/span><\/p>\n I moved into my new studio a few months ago. It\u2019s ten minutes\u2019 walk from my house, in the centre of Kiev. The large, bright space is divided into three rooms: an office for work, a printing workshop and an exhibition area. Everything in its right place. I love order\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s become a home from home. I spend most of my time here, with my thoughts and objects around me. I\u2019m not hiding from people \u2013 I\u2019ve just got used to having my own space and I feel comfortable spending time in my own company and working alone.<\/span><\/p>\n – Does your workspace influence your work?<\/span><\/p>\n For sure! My studio is my “place of power”. It\u2019s my creative fortress, my monastery, my office and my meditation mat. It\u2019s rarely disturbed by visitors, just my tools, paint papers, the strange knick-knacks that make a place feel like home. It\u2019s where my ideas live \u2013 though of course they\u2019re born elsewhere, they come to me in all kinds of places. Mostly when walking around the city. But they\u2019re made real by the process of work. I often work with objects, printing still life compositions. Most of the items from my artworks live in my studio.<\/span><\/p>\n Some of them are there to work \u2013 my tools, my press \u2013 others are just strange and random things … I think other artists understand what I mean. I’m talking about all those things we can\u2019t bring ourselves to throw away, which live in all workshops – old, a little broken, not functional, but memorable, funny, necessary. I think they often inspire my artwork, creating an atmosphere that\u2019s naturally conducive to creativity.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I moved into my new studio a few months ago.
