Жінка (2000) Painting by Tetiana Velyka

I, Tatiana Velyka, am an artist with many years of creative experience. I am also a teacher of history and law. I was born in Ukraine, I live and work here, in a small village - Mezhevaya. My work has always been bright and joyful. They made people happy and healed their souls. On the eve of the war, I painfully wanted to fill the space with black. It was so unexpected and unacceptable. I didn't want to succumb to the blackness, but it felt like sickness. A few months after the start of the war, she could not work. Now I'm ready to share the beautiful again. Vibrant colors in my palette again. I am very grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine and Ukrainians.
My house is located in the East of Ukraine, the fire of war has come close to it. There are many people in my region who were forced to leave their cities or villages. We believe that our soldiers will protect our Fatherland, because the enemy army kills us because it hates us, and our soldiers protect us because they love us.
"Great" (Velyka) is my real surname, not a pseudonym. She studied at the Moscow Institute of Textile and Light Industry, specializing in designer of leather goods, later graduated from Zaporozhye State University with a degree in history. This is what inspired the style of my work.
My paintings are made in different styles (such as neuro-painting, op art, surreal symbolism, art deco, primitivism). My painting technique is related to acrylic paints (dry brush, fishing line, 3-D, poured techniques.
Everything beautiful inspires me: nature and cities, people and ideas, myths, science and mysticism, philosophy and religion. You will get acquainted with their images in my individual works and exhibitions. After so many years of creative work (just work, because it is a "heavy cross"), I can say that my works have a very positive impact on the lives of my customers. There are excellent cases of significant improvement in life situations.
My first work was written at the age of 33. I reproduced on it what then excited my soul. I was a young mother and most worried about the future of my daughters. Although in fact I have been engaged in creativity all my conscious life since childhood. But then there was a special moment.
