Yesterday I released a second solo episode for the new season of the Wanderings Podcast. I am really happy to share insights into my path of becoming an artist, a traveler, a small business owner in a digital landscape, and I hope some lessons of that journey can be useful to you.

After three months in Thailand and two transformative months in the beautiful land of Cambodia, I find myself back in Cairo with the goal of finishing a number of projects started this year.

Today it’s been a month since we arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and we are starting our second month here. What was supposed to be a 10-day temple hopping adventure has transformed into a full exploration of music, dance, and mythology of the fascinating Khmer culture.

Today I released my second song. Invocation was inspired by my 8-month stay in Cairo and it’s is out on all music platforms.

Today I released my first composition. Saharetni (She Put a Spell on Me) is out on all music platforms.

I’m very happy to announce that the first episode of a new season of my podcast is out!

As a photographer and musician, I am in love with mixing ethnic elements from different cultures and exploring ancient places. These are themes that come back again and again in my work, and today I’m happy to share a little experiment with the talented model and dancer Tetiana Tesliuk in Egypt. This is the first in a series of photos showcasing Ukrainian artists in traditional outfits at landmarks around the world, during my travels this year.  

A story about a work-in-progress project, my second-ever music composition.

My favorite author, Carl Sagan, once wrote an essay called ‘Dreams are maps’, where he talked about how visions can become reality, create purpose, and inspire next generations.

Some thoughts on picking up the oud again and side creative projects left in limbo.

She sat at the top of the hill to rest, look, and think. We had arrived at the Pyramids complex early, for the third time in one month. 

No deep thoughts for today. Just happy I got to see this place. And see it with her. For the first time.

At the temple of Hathor in Dendera, Egypt, I suddenly realized what made it so unique, especially compared to Luxor or Karnak.

The most precious gift of travel is that it can give you a chance to not only see, but also to observe what is around you, and how it connects to your own story.

Seeing the pyramids of Giza has always been on any version of these plans, and they have always been delayed for a ‘better time’. This Spring Iana Komarnytska and I decided to get back on the road and step into fulfilling postponed dreams, with all the flaws and imperfections of timing.

This year I want to focus on combining fashion and ancient history and places in some new fine art series.

Some thoughts about the first day of 2022.

I’ve been thinking of what kinds of shoots to do at home during the quarantine and I came across this shot with Iana Komarnytska and hair by Olena A., mixing elements of ethnic fashion and high end jewelry.
