My name is Illia, and my pseudonym is Illia 123. I am a boy from Kyiv, working in the style of naïve art and art brut. Once, when I was 10 years old, sitting at the windowsill and looking at my native Pozniaky, I promised myself to keep this moment throughout my life, and this promise became the basis of my creative life.

I am inspired by everyday things: streets, shops, cars, people, animals. I am fascinated by primitive shapes, rough lines, and bright colors. Having jumped into the stream of contemporary shit, I like the temperature of the water and its brightness, because people who stay away from this stream feel cold, and the water seems yellow to them.

Combining, mixing, overlaying are the main tools in my pocket. My favorite color is black lol, and my favorite drawing material is pastel. Emotional impulses, situations and events in my life are visualized in my art.
