Biography
Hey there!
I am Yana, a professional watercolor artist from Ukraine.
Before the russian war against Ukraine, my studio was based in Kyiv. I was forced to leave home and spend a year in France. Now I am back to Ukraine and continue to produce art here.
Before Covid I was traveling a lot and even had a chance to settle long-term in a few countries to experience the life of locals.
Thailand, Vietnam, Bali, Peru, Colombia, France, Spain and other amazing countries gave me endless inspiration for my watercolor pieces! Places I visited, people I met, nature, architecture, colors & smells all influence me and find their way on paper.
If you've been to those countries, looking at my paintings you will feel this soft & warm rush of memories from those places.
I paint in a realistic style, but here & there I try to play with loose techniques, inks, and other media.
That's why you can find such a wide variety of topics in my art - from stunning landscapes to cute animals to food, to the floral world...
Watercolor has been my passion since I was 10 years old.
Now my life is built around art:
- I create watercolor online courses on demand for different platforms.
- I am a co-founder of an online Watercolor Painting Academy.
- I hosted regular watercolor workshops in Chiang Mai, Thailand and in Da Nang, Vietnam. And in other cities I traveled to.
- I had the experience of launching my own business on Amazon and developing the best sketchbooks for artists.
