Mariya Golub lives in Kyiv, Ukraine. In 2018, Mariya graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture.’I have been drawing since I was three years old. The first time I tried to scratch a horse with a stick on a green leaf of a tree. I saw horses everywhere, flowers and clouds turned into horses for me, because I thought a lot about them.’ – MG
