Forest Rhapsody Painting

My name is Kateryna Harahulia working under the creative pseudonym ‘Dextrum Methodo’. I am a Ukrainian contemporary artist based in Finland. I was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine in 1999 and studied at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Fine Arts and the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv (Ukraine). I have a master’s degree in Fine Arts and working on my PhD research. I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer who has exhibited in major cities in Ukraine, Finland, and Europe. I am a member of the Finnish Painters Union, Vantaa Artists Association, Helsinki International Artists Association and Finnish Design Union "Ornamo" I prefer to explore the themes of protecting nature, admiring its uniqueness, and calling for the defense and protection of natural resources in my art. There is a place for reflection on the achievements of humanity, the importance of the human mind, the development of science and its discoveries, as well as the mythology of different countries and cultures in my work. Symbolism and impressionism has had a huge influence on my work. I project my view through the vision of my method of the right hemisphere on different genres of art, such as graphic art, digital art, oil painting, watercolor, stage design, costume art, filmmaking, photography, as well as murals, installations, illustrations and other types of visual art. My audience is people of no age limit, who have a sufficient level of erudition and empathy to decipher the meanings and symbolism of my works, as well as sufficient emotional development to be able to feel the beauty and energy of my canvases. During my artistic practice, I held several personal exhibitions in major cities of Ukraine, Finlan and other Europe cities , which were visited by more than 250,000 people. Participated in many All-Ukrainian and All-European exhibitions of the Association of the Union of Artists and in many competitions, and festivals in Finland, Ukraine and throughout Europe. I was a speaker of All European Sympоsium “Artistic Future Building” and jury member at the festival ArsWeikkola, Finland. I represented my art piece in International Group Exhibition ‘’The Land Of Silence’’ , Musa Pavilion, Palazzo Pisani-Revedin during the 60th Biennale di Venezia.
