Helgána Shyshkina-Rybalskaya

Only PRINTS are presented here.

I am a Kyiv-based multimedia artist, multiple award-winning painter and Soviet non-conformist icon.
I am an artist, actress (specializing in aristocratic characters in historical and fantasy films), singer and writer from Kyiv. I have poor health, so I often sit by the window and watch the lives of others. Not surprisingly, I'm also a philosopher :-)
I have lived in different countries, but returned to Ukraine before the war. In that country even before the war live was difficult and dangerous, so it is very interesting. In Ukraine, even the very survival depends on the kind of food you buy for dinner. And in wartime, you just have to survive and eat not every day. So here I feel alive - it inspires creativity.
My paintings is contain in one museum in Kyiv and many private collections in Europe (including EU). My name is Helgána Shyshkina-Rybalskaya (I am also known as Tiny Lady Helgána). As of 2024, I have already received a special prize from the jury of the prestigious International Luxembourg Art Prize “For High Quality Art” 4 times. By the way, my medium term work on the painting is 9 months.
I have the best job in the world: I can recreate the lost beauty of our planet that is destroyed, an...

I am is the direct descendant of Ivan Shishkin, only one, who inherited from him the gift of the painter. From the very childhood I wanted to become the artist only. I was draw when it is only possible, I was draw at all, what is only possible, I was draw as often as possible. When I began to painting on furniture, parents tired to fight with this talent and decided to send me to study art. So in the 4 years old I first went to vocational training to painting to the private teacher. Then newspapers started writing about me as about the child prodigy from Kiev. At the age of 8 years, I begin to learn in the studio for famous Soviet artist Nicholas Semeniuk. Since 1984, I participated in exhibitions. Over the years, I began to have other hobbies: I was a member of the girl's synchronized swimming team, I graduated from music school, I graduated from acting school, at 15 I organized the rock band "Тени Лихолесья" ("Shadows of Mirkwood"), where I was a front girl and the author, and my stage name was Elven Queen Gaenelos... But painting has always been my main love.

In 1986, after the Chernobyl tragedy, I have an allergy to components of oil painting. After this diagnosis the study at the Art Academy became impossible: the patient w...

I started my path in the art of painting as a child prodigy and continued as the author of an art manifesto. I have won many international painting competitions. I have participated in the prestigious International Competition Luxembourg Art Prize 4 times and have received a special prize from the esteemed jury - a gold certificate “For High Quality Art” 4 times. My paintings and prints are presented in many international art catalogs and art magazines. I have been taking part in exhibitions since I was 10 years old (that is, I began my exhibition activity back in 1984). But I have so many exhibitions and other events that a simple listing of them does not fit into the limited number of characters that Saatchiart provides me with here. If you really want to get acquainted with the full list of my activities in art, you will have to find my pages on the websites Artmajeur and Singulart (you already know my search name). Unfortunately, the rules of Saatchiart prohibit me from writing direct links to these pages. Sorry for the inconvenience, but these are the rules of Saatchiart.
