Assol Kovtun

I am an artist working primarily with oil painting, inspired by nature, quiet everyday moments, and the feelings they carry. I’m especially drawn to landscapes, flowers, and still life. These subjects allow me to slow down and notice light, color, and mood.
My artistic practice has developed through years of study, workshops, and continuous exploration. Before moving to Canada in 2022, I lived and worked in Ukraine, where I exhibited and sold my work in Melitopol, Kyiv, and Ivano‑Frankivsk.
Now based in Calgary, I continue to grow my practice and connect with the local art community. In 2023, my work was exhibited at Fort Calgary through Artspot. I also completed a plein air painting course and participated in a plein air painters’ competition in August 2025, deepening my connection with working directly from nature.
Since the beginning of 2025, I have been exploring linocut printmaking. After completing specialized courses, linocut has become an important part of my practice, allowing me to work with shape, rhythm, and contrast in a more graphic and intuitive way.
I regularly participate in exhibitions and art markets in Calgary, including the Under $100 Art Show, the Love Show curated by Artspot, and the Beacon Original Art Fall ...
