When light transcends boundaries

After my first exhibitions in Ukraine, I felt my works beginning to live lives of their own. They found their own audiences, their own stories, and moved into new cities.

I decided to submit my work to international platforms—without any expectations. It was more of an experiment, another step into the unknown. And that was when something happened that I could hardly have imagined at the beginning of my journey.

My works have been selected by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), and I have been officially invited to participate in the RHS Botanical Art & Photography Show, which will take place in London at the legendary Saatchi Gallery.

The exhibition is organized by the RHS – one of the world’s most prestigious organizations dedicated to studying and promoting the beauty of plants and nature. My work was chosen through a formal selection process from among many artists worldwide.

The exhibition will be presented at the Saatchi Gallery, London, from June 19 to August 2, 2026.

The Saatchi Gallery is a space where contemporary artistic meanings are shaped and new names are discovered. Realizing that my work has become a part of this environment was both a quiet and profoundly deep experience.

My photography is about nature and flowers, but seen through a different lens – through ultraviolet light, which usually remains invisible to the human eye. This was where a very subtle alignment occurred: the Royal Horticultural Society saw and appreciated this beauty.

No loud words. Just a feeling: «I am right where I belong».

For me, this stage isn't about achievement.

It’s about the moment I realize: «I am no longer searching for the path – I am walking it!»

A Path of Revelation: Sunflower under Ultraviolet Light

This series consists of photographs of a sunflower captured from various angles under ultraviolet light. It is structured as a sequential exploration—from external form to internal anatomy, from the hidden to the revealed, from emotion to structure. The series portrays the sunflower as a living system where light, energy, memory, and life itself are inextricably intertwined. The flower exhibits vivid fluorescence and saturated colors, opening a new level of nature observation.

Together, they illustrate a journey from detachment to revelation, from emotion to structure, revealing the sunflower as a living system where light, energy, memory, and life itself are woven together.
