The main idea of her art is to transfer the emotion of happiness and also love to our nature. Artist’s passion for photography also has had an impact on her art. Ulyana captures flowers in macro format. She has transferred this technique to her paintings. The image of a large, very close-up flower on the whole canvas has become her speciality.

Subsequently, the idea of macro capturing has been also applied to her paintings of water, paying attention to the observation of refraction of light in the water, its reflections. Ulyana Korol was born in 1980 in Lviv (Ukraine). She comes from a family of doctors. From early childhood she showed creative skills, so parents encouraged this in every possible way. There were different painting studios and graduation with honors the art school. The desire to create has reflected in Ulyana's first personal exhibition at the age of nine. Living in the city rich on cultural and artistic events, Ulyana visits various art exhibitions and events, communicates with artists, draws new knowledge and inspiration. Art has never been ceasing to be a part of her life. However, after having become a mother of three sons, there was too less time for painting.

Eventually, as if an invisible hand drove her back to the dream – Ulyana has bought canvases, oil paints and begun to paint with greater passion. It has happened in the summer of 2014. Since then the artist has been working a lot in the creative field.
