While creating this project I was getting inspiration from magnificent women medieval outfits I saw on canvas of Tizian, Velazques, Roberto Bompiani, James Tissot and other great artists. My hommages were created with porcelain crockery (such as saucers, cups, bowls) and different flowers. Sometimes I was using paints to recreate fantastic women dresses of the past eras in all subtle nuances. With my project I would like to touch to the history of medieval women costume and show that there are no limits for creativity.

Halyna came to photography just at the age of 35 from the marketing sphere. Today she is the prize-winner of international photo competitions, her works has been exhibited in Ukraine and Scotland. In her youth, she heard one Jewish wisdom: "Focus on good thoughts and all will be good." This is her main motivation in life.
