Larysa Manukova

I am an artist from Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine. I work with oil and acrylic paints, using gold leaf, textured pastes, and various materials to create vibrant, textured paintings.
My works combine different styles and techniques — I do not limit myself to one direction, as I believe art is a constant search and discovery. This freedom of experimentation allows me to find new ways to convey emotions, impressions, and my inner world.

I began my creative journey at the start of the full-scale war, feeling the need to create something personal, honest, and genuine. My goal is not only to depict beauty but to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and inspire others to see the world through their own lens.

In my paintings, I turn to nature, everyday stories, and personal experiences, striving to create a living dialogue between the artwork and the viewer.
Each of my works is a new step in exploring texture, color, and form.

Although my career is just beginning, my paintings have already found their owners, including in England, and I continue to create new series to grow further and share my energy through art.
