Oleksandra Tertyshna

My name is Lesya Tertyshna. I was born in Krasnograd in eastern Ukraine. I've lived in many cities and countries and currently work in Lviv.

My creative career began with the onset of the quarantine. I started by painting clothes, participating in creative projects, and working as a stylist. This experience has influenced my current artistic approach, and I enjoy working with color. What surrounds me is a great inspiration for me. I get pleasure from observing different personalities, characters, life situations and transform my experience into creativity.

Primarily, I work in the styles of figurativism, allegory, animalism, naivety and scenes from everyday life, with a preference for oil paints.

I have no art education, all my paintings come from the inside, I just feel how it should be.
