"Neon Cat" Painting

Hi, I’m Julia Rybalko — an artist and amateur photographer. Originally from Ukraine, but for the past nine years I’ve been soaking up Portuguese sun, ocean air, and maybe a bit too much green wine. Nine years here have taught me one thing: life looks better in slow motion. That’s probably when I started painting — blame it on the Atlantic, or the wine, or both. My art lives somewhere between pop-art confidence and geometric expressionism, where structure pretends to be in control and color does whatever it wants. I paint with acrylics, and sometimes the paint ends up on the canvas. Sometimes not. There’s no perfection in my work — just mood, impulse, and a bit of chaos, like in life itself. If your walls are tired of behaving, give them a little color therapy. They might thank you later.
