My name is Vitalina Mukhina - I am a Ukrainian artist and architect-designer. I was born in mid-August in a military family. I loved to draw since childhood, at school I drew posters for holidays and wall newspapers, dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. In high school, I fell in love with drawing and geometry, so I decided to study to be an architect. In 2004, I entered the Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Department of Innovative Technologies of Architectural Environment Design. The training was quite easy, I really liked all the graphic and creative tasks. My favorite subjects were design and pencil drawing. Unfortunately, oil painting was not taught, and I mastered it after graduating from university. In 2010, I graduated from university and began working as an architect-designer in an architectural bureau. It was a wonderful time - I really liked the work, although it was difficult. There were many interesting projects (cinemas, restaurants and hotels, residential buildings and office spaces...) In 2017, I plunged into the world of oil painting and watercolors. My future husband Alexander gave me an easel, canvases, paints and brushes... everything an artist needs for creativity. He knew that I wanted to paint, but something always got in the way. At the beginning of 2018, I began painting in the creative environment of the art studio 61 studio. Many works were painted there, including those sent to a charity auction in America in 2022.
