""Orange leaf"" Painting

Veronika Blyzniuchenko is a Ukrainian contemporary artist whose work bridges poetic beauty, spiritual depth, and emotional power. Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, she holds two Bachelor’s and two Master’s degrees in Fine Arts from the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, with specializations in Easel Painting and Monumental Art.
Since relocating to Portugal following the outbreak of war in Ukraine, Veronika has produced a body of work that has gained recognition across 33 countries and found its place in private and institutional collections in Europe, North America, and Asia.
Her solo exhibition “The Beauty is a Choice” at the historic Basilica da Estrela in Lisbon — a monument closed to the public for 40 years — attracted over 17,000 visitors from around the world. Her work has been featured by Euronews and My Modern Met, and she has exhibited in partnership with the European Parliament, and at venues in Berlin, Helsinki, Lisbon, and Covilhã.
Working primarily in oil , Veronika’s signature technique incorporates 24k gold leaf and gold paint — a practice rooted in the Orthodox artistic traditions of Ukraine and refined through her academic training in monumental art. Her subjects — birds, gardens, nature, and sacred imagery — carry a universal language of beauty, protection, and abundance.
Veronika is represented by Yudian Art Gallery for China, Macau, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Her work is also available through P55.ART in Portugal. She is the founder of the Veronika Blyzniuchenko Foundation, dedicated to art therapy for children and the cultural reconstruction of Kharkiv, Ukraine.
