The Awakening Painting

Yuliya Vladkovska is a contemporary artist whose work explores the intersection of visual culture, leadership, and value creation. Her paintings and sculptures are held in private collections across the UAE, US, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Currently pursuing an MFA in Painting at Accademia Carrara (Italy), she is developing her thesis project, a collaborative practice involving business leaders and collectors. Through this, she investigates how an aesthetic gesture can influence cultural and economic value. The contemporary art field increasingly rewards artists who merge disciplines and draw from diverse forms of knowledge. Her practice draws on a cross-cultural background, years of international experience, a corporate career, academic research, and advanced painting studies — placing her at the center of this shift. Evolving beyond her early abstract expressionist period, she now channels her focus into the precision, layered detail, and technical refinement of oil painting, expanding the conceptual and visual range of her work.
