NATALIIA KRYVOBOK I was born in Kharkiv in 2004. Since childhood, I grew up in love with my city. I loved to learn… In 2011, I enrolled at Kharkiv Gymnasium, from which I graduated with a gold medal. In addition to my studies, I worked as a scientist and wrote and defended my research papers at the National Academy of Sciences. At the same time, I was studying at the School of Art and Design, which in just two years was able to give me the necessary skills and knowledge, and helped me understand myself and my creativity. Studying painting, drawing and composition, creativity and modern aspects contributed to my dream of enrolling at the Kharkiv State Academy of Fine Arts. The preparation went on as usual, but the war destroyed my plans and dreams. However, for a while, despite the difficult conditions of admissions and feelings of depression, I was able to fulfill my dream of studying graphic design. I have now completed my first year and feel more confident in my academic prospects than ever. Even though I studied online because of the war, I still managed to enjoy the process. Now, in my free time, I paint portraits in the style of realism, create compositions with Kharkiv landscapes, and improve my digital skills. I have many dreams of a happy creative future. The main component that features in my dreams is my native city Kharkiv. It’s reinforced, strong, and brave. I want to continue to work for the benefit of my hometown and country, develop its cultural front, and turn my homeland into a leading country in the world. We will survive. Victory is coming soon. Glory to Ukraine!
