Biography

Since childhood, sport has nurtured in me the character and desire to be the best. Trainings, performances, championships was my life. Instead of school - I represented the Ukrainian dance team at the World Championship in USA. Participated in the dance TV-show “World of Dance” - Ukraine, Netherlands.

At the age of 7, I first came to the set, where I had a tiny episodic role. At that moment I felt that cinema is what I will do all my life. That's what happened.

I played my first main role at the age of 12, in the military project "Officer's Wives", then came other big projects, you can see my full filmography below.

At the age of 15, I graduated from school externally, two years earlier than I should have to. Then entered Kyiv institute of theatre and cinema, where I studied for 2 years. In the first week of study I was approved for Nariman Aliyev's big feature film "Homeward" and I went on an expedition trip with a crew - despite the fact that it was forbidden to have shootings during studies. A year later, the film took part in the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for an Oscar from Ukraine. Also I starred in the big teenage series "School", which made me known and gave big popularity, as well as in 4 seasons of the family series "Daddies” and etc. On the set of one of the following series, I was offered to go to moscow for studying in the drama school, where acting education was considered as more strong. I wanted to develop as an actor and among the tens of thousands of applicants I entered Gitis but at the same time continuing having shootings in Kyiv.

But then - started a war.. russia attacked my country, It was dangerous to stay in Kyiv, I stopped my studies and understood that I will never go back to moscow. Training, career, life - everything was over.. and a new stage of my life began.

By a fateful accident I ended up in Italy.

Kyiv was bombed, there were no work, there were no money, no housing and what has been built for so many years was destroying in front of my eyes. I lived in a monastery for two months and thought I would never be able to go back to the cinema again, it seemed too unreal for me. And then I decided - since I can't act in movies anymore and I don't know how to help Ukraine - let our "Ukrainian Cinema" see the world.

Me and my friend started to organise charity screenings of Ukrainian films and send money to the Ukrainian Cinema Foundation. We came to the Ministry of Culture in Rome to get permission and a week later, I became a student of the oldest Roman film academy, Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, which was considered as the best and went in Cannes Film Festival for the first time!!! It was such a big dream...

At the festival I met the talented Italian director Aldo Juliano, who was looking for a Ukrainian actress for the main role in his film - and already at the end of the year I did my first Italian project as a lead actress. We had amazing shooting period... I also I was approved for the lead role in the big feature film "The Line" in Ireland. After - I entered the London Royal central school of speech and drama, studied there for free for 3 months, but in the end I decided to return to Italy as I did not have the opportunity to pay for the institute. I continued to study at the Centro Sperimentale and get acquainted with the Italian film industry, despite the fact that I didn't know Italian then. And half a year later, our film "Dive" represented Italy at the Venice Film Festival in the category “Orizzonti”

I'm sure that this is just the beginning of my way and there's still a lot of interesting ahead. I think this story is about “never give up”, and continue to believe in your dreams, and act in their direction.

My uniqueness &

Approach

I am demanding of myself, I always know that I can do more, I continue to develop and learn new facets of the acting profession. I'm in constant development. I respect my profession and believe that every actor should be trained and improve their skills.

Behind my back, in addition to a big movie background and practice on the set - many years of professional training and studying in the best acting universities, work with the best teachers and mentors.

As my coach said, you can't last long on one talent, because success is 1% of talent, and 99% of hard work.

And to be in the profession - you need to learn and be one step ahead.

SpongeBob square pants
My little pony

I doubt a lot of Netflix series as Elite, Fate: The winx saga, Ginny and Georgia, Bridgertons and others

About Roles &

I am universal, all the characters I played are different, the role of "blonde girl" doesn’t work for me, I want to break frames and stereotypes. Complex, provocative, ambiguous characters with a double bottom are an interesting and inspiring challenge for me.

I like working on the role, it's the process that remains behind the scenes, no one sees it, but without it - the character is flat and superficial.

I have studied a lot of analysis techniques and for each character

I use a different method.

One of the goals is to play in a Sport Drama about the career path, resilience and obstacles that stand in the way of the main character. This genre is very close to me in spirit and I definitely have something to say to the viewer.

I aims to play in a Spy Action movie - using my acrobatics, boxing and fighting skills. But I'm also ready for other interesting projects and cool scripts.
