"The revival of the phoenix" Painting

My name is Kateryna Hnunyán, a Ukrainian artist specializing in oil painting and bas-relief. Most of my works are executed in the realism style, using multilayer painting and glazing techniques. Each painting fills me with an immense flow of energy and a desire to showcase the beauty of our world.

Currently, I am studying at the Kharkiv Art Academy, where I am in my third year. This academic training has given me the opportunity to master classical painting techniques and expand my artistic vision. I am learning to paint not only nature and animals, but also people — developing a deeper understanding of composition, light, and the human figure.

My paintings are part of private collections in Japan, the USA, Germany, Armenia, and Ukraine. They participate in international competitions and exhibitions, winning prizes and gaining recognition both in Ukraine and abroad.

Since childhood, I have loved drawing and helping people, so after art school, I decided to study medicine. After earning a red diploma and working as a biologist, I felt happy. However, the birth of my son opened new horizons for me: an irresistible desire to engage in oil painting overcame all fears on the path to art.

My portfolio includes original paintings such as “Star Chameleon,” “Mountains in the Mist,” “Frosty Patterns,” “Fiery Roses,” “Honey Mood,” and others, each created with attention to detail and a love for my craft.

I also share my knowledge and inspiration through a YouTube channel dedicated to art, where you can find my master classes and stories about the creation process. For me, art is not just creativity but also an opportunity to give a piece of my soul to every viewer.
