Soft touch

Concept

My name is Ulyana Korol. I’m ukrainian painter based in Spain.
My passion for nature comes from my childhood…
Flowers were my best toys. My mother often used to bring me different flowers from our garden, so I had fun by playing with them and by admiring of their beauty. Having taken colored pencils at a very young age, the first thing I have drawn was a flower.
I draw my artistic inspiration from travelling. A lot of amazing subjects often make me literally "hunt" them with the camera and later I paint them in my studio. Sometimes it is the violet absolute of the endless lavender field, golden shine of sunflowers, scarlet red of poppies field, some white oleander bushes, incredible and delicate pink of roses or stunning emerald shades of the sea waves …
The main idea of my art is to transfer the emotion of happiness and also love to our nature. My canvases emit warm light, brightness of colors, love of life and these also make them vibrate with the sun, warmth and positive.
Color is very important for me while painting. I care about the purity and brightness of colors, as for me it’s the best way to express, how I am fascinated with the topic “Nature”.
For more juiciness I use the technique of palette knife oil painting. It makes me delighted to be able to combine textured brush strokes with the image of a graceful bending of the flower petals or the transparency of some sea wave.
I think that the nature is the most skilled artist. That’s why I never feel the lack of inspiration, aiming in my works to show its bright, unique and fragile beauty noticed by me.
