About

Hi, I am Anna Ulyahysna. I see my role as an artist with an open and clear vision, observing, feeling, and transforming the world around me into art. To me, art holds the unique ability to express the human experience in an authentic and direct way, fostering an honest dialogue that is often missing in the world around us.

My artistic style blends realism with surrealism, incorporating academic oil painting techniques. The subjects that inspire my works are constantly evolving, just like life itself. In my creative process, I dive deep into emotions and experiences, absorbing as much as I can before seeking ways to express them. This continuous evolution keeps my art dynamic and reflective of the ever-changing nature of human experience. For me, making art is a spiritual process—a journey into the depths of the soul, where I connect with my own source.

Through my art, I aim to inspire others to journey inward, to discover their own depths, and to embrace the transformative power of art. I invite people to push beyond the limits of what is possible, encouraging them to reflect on their own relationship with the world.
