The Sky of the East Painting

I am Vita Virulaine – a minimalist artist residing in Kiev (Ukraine). I have a strong base in academic painting, basics of design and graphic arts (including computer graphics). This multi-layered background is reflected on my canvases (in the form of painting) and posters (in the form of digital painting and graphics). Inspired by nature and my artworks, I remind people of the roots and force of nature, despite the active penetration of technologies into our lives. I think that digital art is our future. My creative goal is to establish a new lifestyle for people that would improve their space and sense of self. I have been professionally engaged in art since 2005. I have graduated from the Ukrainian Academy of Printing (Lviv, Ukraine) and the Grekov Odessa Art school (Odessa, Ukraine). For four years I’ve been creating video game graphics for Big Fish Games (American company). More than five completed projects are in my portfolio. I trained under a famous artist in the film industry – Jama Jurabaev, who worked on famous films in the UK and the USA, collaborated with Steven Spielberg, an American filmmaker. I also attended the Concept Art Course held by the art director of the representative office of Wargaming.net in Kiev (Ukraine), developer of the famous game World of Tanks. I took part in a charity selling exhibition of paintings organized by UkrFerry Shipping Company (Odessa, Ukraine) in 2009. The money raised was donated to the Podari Zhizn Charity Foundation.
