Yuliya Melnyk

Colors. Contrasts. Ornaments. Animals. Flowers. Ceramics. Folklore. Sun. Life.
I’m not afraid of bright colors. I’ve seen a world like this in my childhood, and it had been the happiest feeling.
Color is a thing that inspires me the most. Everything starts with a certain color in my head, and lays down on canvas as an idea based on this color.
I paint what I see and what I feel, my naïve artworks are based on my dreams, my trips and are reflections of my personality.
