"With love, Marilyn - modern colorful portrait of Marilyn Monroe in pointillism style" Painting

Yana Shapoval is Ukrainian artist whose creative journey is defined by a lifelong dedication to the arts and a profound transition from the field of medicine. Although she graduated from medical university and practiced as a doctor, her artistic development continued in parallel, notably through her studies at the Monmartre art studio and subsequent training with various professional artists.
This multifaceted background informs her deep understanding of human psychology and the vibrant energy she seeks to channel into her canvases.
Her practice is driven by a sense of responsibility to share what she describes as a divine, creative energy with the world.
When painting, Yana Shapoval enters a state of flow where her technical decisions—color selection and brushwork—become intuitive and spontaneous. Working across oil and acrylic she utilizes thick, expressive strokes and impasto techniques to create rich, tactile surfaces.
Her style, influenced by Open Impressionism and Pointillism , focuses on capturing the vitality of nature, flowers, and the human spirit.
For Shapoval, each artwork serves as a vessel for powerful energy intended to enhance the environment of its possessor. Her collectors often remark on the transformative and positive impact her paintings have had on their lives, a testament to her belief that art is a medium for sharing harmony and light.
By exploring new techniques and themes, she continues to investigate the relationship between the creator's inner impulse and the physical manifestation of beauty on the canvas.
