Lena in the Sky of Diamonds Painting

May Hope was born in Odessa region, Ukraine. Being constantly inspired by silent woods, breezy waters and ever changing sky, she began to create her first paintings while studying at school. In 2013, she published her own illustrated fairy tales in the student magazine for the first time. Since that year, she has been attending lectures on artistic movements in the city universities and public organizations. After graduating university in 2017 with MA degree, she began studying Art History in Khan Academy, and Mixed Media in Milan Art Institute. Driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide, she paints to make people see what she sees in small mercies and big tragedies of life.
