Tetiana Mandrykina

After completing my studies, I was invited to start teaching children to paint — and this became a significant part of my creative journey. For many years, I shared my love for art as a painting instructor, while continuing to create my own works.

I’ve held three solo exhibitions. Each of them was thematic and accompanied by music and performance, creating an immersive artistic experience.

During the war in Ukraine, I created paintings that were later sold at charity auctions across Europe, with all proceeds directed toward humanitarian aid for Ukraine. It was my way of transforming creativity into action — turning art into compassion and help.

Today, I continue to paint both commissioned works and my own creative projects. I also create large-scale paintings.

My art is deeply connected to the themes of spiritual growth, inner awareness, and unity with nature. I am inspired by the hidden strength within us — the divine essence we often overlook. My paintings reflect states of spiritual awakening, expansion, and connection with higher realms — with the Universe, with God, with the essence of being.

At the same time, I explore these ideas through the human form — through the beauty of the body, the dynamics between man and woman...
