Shadows (2020) Painting by Juliya Povkh

Hello, my name is Juliya Povkh, I was born in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, in 1984.

For many years, creativity was coming  into my life in various ways, but I have focused on another things.

But the time has come when I realized - I can no longer delay, cannot live without creating.

And in 2018 I started my studies an art studio under the direction of the talented artist Lubomir Khudyak.

In my work, I am most attracted to freedom. Creativity - is a freedom. Painting is a freedom.

Painting for me is a process with an infinite source of energy and inspiration.

If you look at my works, you will always see vibrant colors, emotions and soul in them.

When someone asked why I became an artist, I tried to find a full and exact answer to this question. 

But I realized that the answer is very simple:  I create because I can't not do that. Create because that's what my soul does to survive. 

I don't have any secrets of inspiration. 

I just go to the studio, take a canvas, colors, and start to paint.

I love bright and vibrant colors, I try to look for their combinations, hues, saturation and how it can be combined.

I really want the paintings I create make people happier. 

Each of you finds something interesting and intimate in them.

And one thing is always there. It is a joy. The joy of life, creativity and inspiration that help me as an artist to share my inner world with you.

Countries when my artworks are collected: Ukraine, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, USA, Japan, France, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg.
