#ARTRAMUS
In 2012, Tetyana Ramus founded the brand #ARTRAMUS which combined modern art and high fashion. At this time Tetyana Ramus passionately paints and actively travels the world, studying fine art in different countries such as the USA, Italy, Greece, and Great Britain. Her art workshops are located in quite a few countries all over the world.

The first series of Tetyana's paintings appeared as a result of a creative process called "Dresses". The conception of works has become a reflection of her previous TV experience as a journalist and a TV host. Tetyana's professional activity as an interviewer and personal communication with some outstanding world-famous women, including Ornella Muti, Juliette Binoche, and Geena Davis. Exactly those prominent personalities gave a primary creative start and inspiration for Tetyana's art. She has been trying to reflect the multifaceted nature of the woman through her vision in her paintings. And also above that Tetyana contemplates what their life purpose and result are. Her canvases have become the painter's symbolical outlook of those female images. The central image of Women has also defined the concept of the whole "Dresses" project. Within the framework of the project, Tetyana Ramus created a series of canvases in the style of unique fashion illustrations with a line of designer clothes and accessories based on their motives. Silhouettes, textures, and colour schemes of models supplement and develop ideas reflected on canvases. The central image of the project was the Image of the Cat which quietly and gracefully enters the world of Art.

In 2015, in Basel (Switzerland), Tetyana Ramus became the unique artist representing Ukraine at the world-famous fair of modern art, Art Basel, where in the pavilion of Barbarian Art Gallery (Zurich), at the second main space, SCOPE fair, the series of "Dresses" works were presented (oil paintings, and two ceramic sculptures, and a liquid acrylic with the use of aerografii).

In the process of creation, Tetyana's paintings from the "Dresses" series had transformed into the artist's prints on cloth. The new direction of creation was spontaneous, although partly stimulated by the attention and active feedback of female followers of Tetyana's account on Instagram.

ARTRAMUS designer's prints on fabric for the production of the items unexpectedly caused a wave of high attention and public interest. Orders from all over the world began to arrive and thus the artist's creative imagination found its material embodiment. People liked the idea of clothing as a part of the art concept, and this inspired the brand's creator not to stop and develop this trend. Thus, the first ARTRAMUS design collection was born. It was a collection of pajamas successfully received by grateful patrons which unexpectedly found a universal use for the items in everyday life.

Therefore some women determined the way for the further development of the artist and the brand.

Further designer creative search has found its embodiment in sculptures based on the paintings including various creative collaborations such as art dinners and decor of restaurant spaces. The main idea and interest was the transfer of images of Tatiana's paintings to completely different and sometimes unexpected subjects.

Concurrently, the line of clothing continued its natural growth. The first store that created a separate corner for ARTRAMUS in its space was SANAHUNT. The name and the reputation of this multi-brand store are well-known all over the world. It became the starting point for the direct selling of the brand. In the process, the increased volumes of Tetyana's designer collection demanded an independent area. As a result, in 2015, in central Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, ARTRAMUS ART-CONCEPT SPACE was solemnly opened, naturally combining its different brand incarnations within the walls. Such an innovative concept of combining Art & Fashion in the same space was warmly received and actively supported by the targeted patrons.

After the brand's place opening, the ARTRAMUS marque was presented at Monaco Fashion Week as well as at a similar event in Dubai, and numerous showrooms in Europe and the USA. This experience has demonstrated the relevance of the brand in different countries of the world.

In 2016 the famous Swedish model, actress, and TV presenter Victoria Silvstedt appeared in the clothes of the brand # ARTRAMUS in the pages of the magazine L'OFFICIEL Monaco.

Academy of Adulthood for teenagers
The Academy of adulthood for teenagers began its work in the spring of 2015. The project is an alternative educational programme for teenagers.

The Academy of Adulthood is a meeting place for teenagers, an area where they can get answers to their questions.

The rules of behavior in social networks, the features of puberty, the rules of etiquette, the nature and appropriateness of using foul language, how to learn to be friends, how to choose a future profession, and even such "uncomfortable" topics, like alcohol and drugs - and this is not a complete list of lectures of the Academy. The list covers the most relevant and interesting topics. In addition, only authoritative experts in each field of knowledge conduct lectures. -->
