ROArtUS - more colors for your life!

My name is Olga Rokhmanyuk known as ROArtUS, I am a Ukrainian - American artist specializing in acrylic painting on canvas, currently living and working in Richmond, Virginia, USA.

I create for the soul.

Ever since my childhood, I drew every time I got a chance. Later on, I worked at jobs that often required drawing skills – like making ads and decorating shop windows. Then, I worked as a successful interior designer, always drawing my designs by hand.

Now I have found my passion for creativity for the soul. I never do sketches for my paintings, I always draw what I feel at the moment. I feel a special connection with nature, which is why many of my paintings depict the sea, flowers, and landscapes. I consider freedom to be the main value - the freedom to live while creating, to choose for the soul, to act with love, to fall asleep with gratitude…

Paintbrush and blank canvas are like a path to a new life for me.
They fill my exulting heart with rapturous love, letting me see the indescribable beauty around, which I hope to share with You…

What prompted me to pick up the brush? I think it was fate. As I lived in another country, my life was filled with bright events.
But suddenly, everything turned upside down. When I arrived to the United States, I did not know the language. I became mute and all I could do was contemplate a new life, new amazing nature…
With that, glee and feelings overwhelmed my heart and I found a way out for them - through my brush and a blank canvas…After all, sees, flowers and other parts of nature do not know language barriers, they speak the language of great love to us.

It feels as if I enter a fairy tale whenever I see a blank canvas in front of me...
There is so much going on in the soul ...
There is something in my soul that I have not yet found ...
I am looking for it when the brushes are in my hand ...
While I listen to it, but so far it has not been fully revealed to me ...
