Anastasiya Molchanova

Anastasiya Molchanova is a Ukrainian visual artist and Petrykivka painter based in Portugal. She discovered this Ukrainian artistic tradition at the age of fourteen and has been developing her practice for almost 30 years.

Her artistic background includes decorative arts, painting, theatre and graphic design. She graduated in Design from Zaporizhzhia National Technical University and previously worked as a stage artist and photographer at an Academic Musical Drama Theatre in Ukraine.

Her work explores Petrykivka painting as a living contemporary artistic language, combining traditional motifs and symbolism with original compositions, colour and expressive brushwork.

With more than 20 exhibitions to her name, Molchanova continues to create original paintings, teach the technique and participate in cultural projects promoting Ukrainian art.

She creates works with a lasting artistic and cultural value, intended to become part of a home and remain meaningful across generations.
