Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Print

I, Viktoriia Kush, am a professional artist with over 18 years of experience in painting. Born in Ukraine in 1992, I now live and work in Paris. Art has been a part of my life since childhood, and at the age of 14, I consciously embarked on my journey in painting, studying under the guidance of artist Hanna Andriivna Tkachyk and refining my skills in various techniques. I earned a Master’s degree in Design from Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts, which expanded my creative approach and deepened my understanding of form, composition, and color. In my work, I merge classical and contemporary techniques, experimenting with materials, colors, and symbolism. My paintings are not just visual compositions; they are explorations of themes, energy, and the psychology of art. I work with deep emotional states, translating them into symbolic imagery, color dynamics, and textures. Each painting tells a story, guiding the viewer through emotions, transformations, and inner quests. I study the energy of color, subconscious imagery, and the impact of art on the human psyche. My goal is for my paintings to do more than decorate a space—they should interact with people, evoke emotions, and leave a lasting impression. I continue to learn from master artists, explore new techniques, and integrate modern technology, including artificial intelligence, into my creative practice. My works have been exhibited in galleries and are part of private collections worldwide. For me, art is not just about visual beauty—it is a profound exploration of human nature, emotions, and the connection between reality and the subconscious.
