Valentina Kulikova

I was born in Kazakhstan in 1986 and still live there.
I've been painting with oil on canvas since 2005.
I have no formal art training. My creative path has been shaped by years of independent practice, creative exploration, and a sincere love for painting.
I'm inspired by nature, human stories, and places filled with atmosphere and memories. Each of my paintings is born from personal emotions, so I never create copies—each work exists as a unique original.
In oil painting, I strive to capture not only what is visible, but also what is felt.
