Yevheniia Kulyk

Yevheniia Kulyk, a Ukrainian contemporary artist. I work with oil, acrylic, mixed media, palette knife, and metallic leaf on canvas and cardboard.

I have been painting for about 20 years. I studied at the Repin Art School in Kharkiv, and later continued my training in a private studio with Vitalii Lenchyn. A huge part of my practice comes from self-study and experimentation.

I am interested in emotion, mood, and color. I like beautiful objects, but I also like it when they carry an inner state or a hidden feeling. Figures and symbolic objects often appear in my paintings - sometimes simply as they are, sometimes as a way to speak about something more personal.

I am drawn to sensuality, mystery, light, space, and strong color. I also like experimenting with texture and metallic leaf because these materials can change the mood of a work.

For me, a painting should create a reaction - a feeling, a question, or a moment of recognition.
