Spring flowers (2022) Painting by Yuliya Nemchenko

My name is Yuliya. I have been drawing since childhood. My mom noticed my ability to draw and sent me to art school at the age of 4. However, a few years later, our family moved to another country and I became actively involved in school and synchronized swimming. And I didn't have enough time for art school anymore.

Later, at the university, I received a degree in public relations, and then worked for a long time in financial structures and banks. However, in my heart there was a glimmer of hope that I should definitely do something more creative, something that would give other people a wonderful mood and bring beauty to this world.

I traveled a lot, got to know the world, and at the same time got to know myself. Later I received my diploma as a professional makeup artist. With the help of brushes and cosmetics, I helped girls see themselves in a new way, special. For me, their faces were like a blank canvas, and I was an artist. However, being a make-up artist and combining work in a bank, due to lack of time, did not work.

Everything changed after yoga and other spiritual practices came into my life. Each time, I felt more and more how my inner creativity was revealed. I felt that painting is what i needed. I wanted to create beauty. I wanted to create paintings. And I wanted them to bring joy to other people. After that, I left my office job and completely immersed myself in the world of art and painting. Painting is my passion and I am very grateful that I can share part of my vision of the world through my paintings
