Adult Life

After graduating from the institute, Valery devoted all his free time to his hobbies. This includes creating websites (Fotobudka.com, etc.), traveling around Ukraine and Europe (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria), and trips to Turkey. He also had a great desire to go to Egypt to dive in the Red Sea and to visit Georgia.

Valery was a creative person. He combined work and creativity in his life. Valery was a photo artist. He bought a professional Canon 5D camera and several lenses for different types of shooting. He created a photo studio in his apartment. Valery loved to shoot nature, people (portraits), children, animals, the sky, the sunset, the sea, the mountains, sculpture... he loved life. Valery never parted with his faithful friend-camera.

Valery was interested in psychology, he worked on creating psychological portraits and he did it quite well. As a son, while still studying at an art school, he dreamed of working with clay and wood. He started taking lessons from a potter. On the eve of his trip to the seminar, Valery made a clay bowl and really wanted to see his product after firing. But, he never saw it...

Valery was fond of numismatics. He was interested in history and wanted to mold the busts of all Russian tsars (he had already made a bust of Peter I).

Valery finished Thai massage courses. Only one massage my son gave me, and my severe headaches immediately stopped. I told him: 'Sonny, you can heal people!'

Somehow, Valery got a desire to go to work in his specialty in the Czech Republic. Having thought about it, he said: 'I won't go anywhere because I love home, I love Kyiv, I love Ukraine'.

An interesting fact is that Valery was neither a dancing nor a musical person. And to the surprise of all of us and, probably, himself, Valery began to study at the dance studio 'Rumbero's' with Amador Lopez, began to master the art of Latin American dance. Studio colleagues say that he came with zero knowledge, and then quickly began to master the movements and danced in a special way - with his soul. Yes, and the SOUL of my son was unusually rich and beautiful.
