💙💛 I am Ukrainian female impressionist artist, 48 years old, based in Kyiv — a city that inspires me deeply with its rich atmosphere and vibrant cultural life. 🏞️ I frequently visit exhibitions, museums, and creative spaces, drawing energy from the historic streets and urban pulse. 🐄🌾 I also cherish the tranquility of rural life in the Kyiv region, where my family runs an agricultural business. Nature — forests, rivers, fields, and meadows — profoundly influences my artistic vision. 👩🏻‍🎨 Artistic Journey 🧚 I began my artistic path at 38, studying at the Kyiv Academy of Painting. Since then, I’ve developed a passion for impressionism, working primarily with oil paints on canvas. 🎨 Oil is my preferred medium because of its: ✨ Soft, velvety color transitions; ✨ Richness and depth of hues; ✨ Flexibility for corrections; ✨ Ability to build multiple layers, enhancing durability and texture. 🏞️ My Artworks 🖤🤍🩶 Monochromatic Black & White Oil Paintings. I explore the emotional power of a single color, using variations in value, texture, and form to create abstract, conceptual works. 🌈 Colorful Oil Paintings. These vibrant pieces the contrasts of my life — the dynamic city energy and peaceful rural landscapes. 👨🏻‍🎨 Replicas of the Great Masters. I recreate masterpieces by Impressionist legends such as Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh. This practice connects me deeply with art history and allows me to experience the mastery of these giants firsthand. Many collectors commission these replicas, which are crafted with great respect and emotional involvement. 👩🏻‍🎨 Artist Statement Through painting, I navigate three dimensions of time: ✨ The Past: Honoring the Great Masters by recreating their timeless works. ✨ The Present: Capturing fleeting moments of life’s beauty in vibrant oils. ✨ The Future: Experimenting with new forms and perceptions to expand the boundaries of impressionism.
