Ustinia Shlykova

I am a contemporary landscape and floral artist based in Alberta, Canada. Originally from Moldova, I spent most of my life in Ukraine before the war reshaped my journey, leading me to rebuild my life and studio practice in Western Canada. This multinational background deeply informs my work, infusing it with a profound sense of nostalgia, memory, and a search for peaceful horizons.

My signature style relies on sculpting thick oil paint with an energetic palette knife, creating heavy, three-dimensional textures.
Dedicated to quality from front to back, each original painting is created on premium deep-profile gallery wrap canvas with continuous painted edges, delivered fully wired and beautifully hand-wrapped in archival craft paper for global collections.
