Shynar Duzbayeva

I am Shynar, an artist for whom creativity has become the purpose of life and an inexhaustible source of inspiration, from Kazakhstan (Atyrau), a happy wife and mother of three creative children. Drawing has been my guiding star since childhood, and today I have fully dedicated myself to the art that fills my soul with light and joy. Studying at the “International School of Art Therapy” helped me understand the power of art as a tool for self-expression and healing. In my work, I express my essence through mandalas on canvas that reflect the beauty of sacred geometry and the energy of nomadic art. My paintings are messages understood by those who look deeper. I believe in art therapy as a tool for self-discovery and harmony. In my women’s workshops, participants open the doors to their subconscious, express themselves, and heal in an atmosphere of trust. I love working with vibrant colors and textures, making each piece unique and alive. My goal is not just beauty, but the transmission of emotions that touch hearts and provoke thought. Welcome to my world of creativity, where colors and forms come to life, and each painting is a step towards inner harmony and self-expression!

Urszula Socha

A teacher by education, an artist at heart – this is how my path can be briefly described.  I graduated from the Faculty of Pedagogy at the University of Szczecin with a Master’s degree in social rehabilitation with caring pedagogy. My dissertation on social support in cancer reflects my interest in human emotions and the need for help. I supplemented my pedagogical education with the study of art and music, which greatly influenced my creativity. I have always been an artist at heart. Drawing and art have been with me since childhood. I remember spending hours immersed in the world of colors and shapes, where every sheet of paper became a canvas. Although my artistic inclinations temporarily receded, the passion never disappeared. Recently, I returned to drawing with great joy – it’s like rediscovering a long-forgotten treasure. Now, with new energy, I am exploring different techniques and styles: from pencil sketches to acrylic painting. My inspiration comes from the surrounding world, emotions, and nature. My art is a whole world where each color sings its own melody. My drawings are a symphony of vibrant colors, full of expression, music for the eyes of all generations, transporting them to a fairytale world.

Matinian Lilian

I am Armenian, born in Yerevan, and from a young age, I dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. At 16, I learned to sew and began creating my own clothes based on my designs. After moving to Komotini, Greece, and pursuing economics, my passion for art remained, leading me to attend painting and sculpture courses. I’ve creatively integrated art into my supermarket by crafting unique product compositions for customers. I strive for continuous growth and believe in the profound expressiveness of art. My goal is to further combine art and economics, emphasizing the value of creativity, and my dream is to exhibit in renowned galleries like the Uffizi. My significant achievements include participating in the International Artist Award of Europe. I also teach painting at the Armenian Community of Komotini, nurturing young artists’ talents, and last year, five of my students received awards at the Children’s Art Gallery of Greece for their outstanding work. I value innovation, respect, collaboration, and multidisciplinary thinking, drawing inspiration from classical painting.

Germany

Nadezda Zemlyachenko

An artist based in Germany. I completed online courses in classical painting techniques — working with tempera and copying works by Renaissance and Flemish masters. I’m inspired by the refined beauty of nature — flowers, plants — which led me to preserve them in copper through the technique of electroforming. This meticulous process requires patience and skill, allowing for a meditative state of creation. I compose harmonious arrangements from collected buds, leaves, and flowers, shaping them into 3D artworks. Gradually, I began combining realistic painting with electroforming, which opened up new symbolic meanings and emphasized the connection between emotions and nature. My works have been recognized with a Certificate of Artistic Merit from La Pinacotheque (Luxembourg Art Prize 2024), exhibited in Budapest and Zurich, and became winners of the Golden Time Talent competition.

His mastery is recognised in Europe and the USA, where he has worked in leading studios and participated in prestigious international conventions. His works are published in authoritative tattoo magazines such as Global Tattoo Magazine and DGN Magazine Tattoo, and his clients include well-known figures, notably NBA player Dennis Schröder, musician Jason Butler (Fever 333), blogger Landon McBroom, and actor Lawrence Robinson.

These are not merely tattoos, but art that lives on the skin, inspires, and retains meaning for a lifetime.

Viktoriia Avdoshyna

My creative journey began in childhood, with a love for handicrafts. By the age of 12, I was already creating clothing for myself and my dog. At school, I mastered technical drawing and participated in design competitions, winning prizes. After college, where I studied hairstyling, my interests expanded. Participation in avant-garde hairstyle competitions showed me that my true calling is design. I opened my studio in Kharkiv, where I began creating unique accessories and decor inspired by philosophy, psychology, and esotericism. My works resonated with the public due to their deep meaning and symbolism. Today, I continue to develop my art, combining traditional techniques with modern ideas. For me, each creation is not just an object, but a story, a symbol, and a bridge between the past and the future. I see myself not only as a designer, but also as a researcher, striving to express profound ideas through art. My works carry emotions, personal stories, and symbolism, touching the soul. At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that true beauty comes from within. Through my work, I strive to reveal the inner radiance of women, helping them reconnect with themselves, embrace their uniqueness, and discover new meanings in their lives.

Mayya Zhulidova

I was born in Kiev, lived in Havana as a teenager, graduated from Kiev University and have been living in Barcelona for 33 years. My diverse life experiences have shaped my open view of the world, which I reflect in my art. I have started my life from scratch many times and this experience has toughened me up, giving me confidence and freedom of expression. My journey into fine art began unexpectedly, during the war, when I hosted an artist friend in my home. It was she who discovered the talent in me by putting a mastichin in my hands and showing me how to create textured paintings. Having overcome the impostor syndrome, I began to actively pursue painting. My works are distinguished by a bright colour palette and expressive manner of execution. I strive to convey emotions and impressions, using mastichin to create three-dimensional and dynamic images. To date, my paintings have been exhibited in galleries in Barcelona and have taken part in exhibitions in London.

Spain

Lina Yakobi

Hello! I am Lina Yakobi. My art is an exploration of the deep layers of reality, often hidden from our view. I create not just paintings, but multilayered works that change depending on light and technology. The approach I developed allows the viewer to see more than what appears at first glance. My patented “Yakobi Method” allows for the creation of two different images on canvas: one visible in light, the other hidden and activated in darkness. I also use augmented reality (AR) to add another dimension to my works. At my exhibitions, I ask viewers: what is reality for you? Is it what you see in the light, or what is hidden? My paintings are portals to other dimensions, and I use technology to demonstrate this. I actively promote my art, participate in exhibitions worldwide, and create digital projects. My works are displayed in galleries in various countries, and I am a resident at a gallery in New York, Manhattan. I have also participated in biennales such as Miami Basel and La Biennale di Venezia, Basel, and have been recognized by the Luxembourg Art Prize and Golden Time Talent. My works, such as “Modern Still Life – It’s Energy” and “Healing Codes of Gaia,” explore conscious perception and interaction with the world. I am currently filing another patent for the innovation “Bag with Interchangeable Covers,” an eco-friendly bag that not only transforms but also reduces harmful environmental impact. Additionally, I plant trees and am a member of Greenpeace. In 2025, I will begin collaborating with an Italian religious artifacts factory, creating unique paintings with multiple hidden images. This is a great honor and responsibility for me. I am proud to be part of the Global Talent Confederation.

Iryna Kuts

Iryna is Ukrainian. Throughout her distinguished career in Ukraine, she has excelled as an engineer and financier, holding an MBA and over 20 years of experience in top executive management positions at major companies. While design and art had always been her passions, and she finished multiple art and design courses and continued to improve her skills, these passions remained hobbies and dreams rather than primary occupation. For many years, her life was structured and orderly and there was a need in colour, passion, and creativity. Due to the war in Ukraine she had to move, and this turned out to be a catalyst for change and finding new, unexpected colours. She joined her children in the UK and embraced a new chapter in life by opening her own interior design studio and dedicating herself to painting. This drastic life change was driven by her belief that we each have only one life to live, and by her persistent thoughts —’What if I chose a different career path?’. Her paintings have won the prestigious Golden Time Talent awards in London in 2024.
She has an original approach to teaching her weekly abstract art workshops, mixing interior design, abstract art, and behavioural science, to explore how art and environment influence human psychology, and vice versa. These workshops with children and adults of all skill levels and abilities focus on how people connect with spaces, how they can explore and reflect their identity through abstract art, and how we can make spaces relevant, functional, sustainable, accessible and aesthetically pleasing for all.

Poland

Elzbieta Ratajczak

Elzbieta is a talented artist who developed a unique technique called KODRYSY. This technique is a mature form of automatic drawing that has neither a beginning nor an end, allowing it to be read in any direction. KODRYSY transcend conventional narration, combining consciousness and the subconscious to help achieve deeper self-awareness. They consist of compositions of strokes, lines, and symbols that connect our thoughts with our hidden “self.” The drawings, created in black on white paper, captivate viewers with their intricate lines and details. At first glance, they may seem incomprehensible, but over time they reveal their meaning, allowing one to see the “invisible.” In color, they become more understandable, yet still require concentration and deep analysis. Observing KODRYSY is a form of meditation that fosters creative development and self-discovery. Elzbieta began her artistic journey with a love for art inherited from her father, and through years of exploration in philosophy and graphology. She has received numerous awards, such as the Century 2013 award, recognition at the Luxembourg Art Prize, and victories in international competitions like the  Golden Time Talent. Her works continue to inspire and evoke interest in self-discovery among viewers.

Georgia

Asmik Bleyan

My journey into art began with classical oil painting. Working with oil and pastel, I found inspiration in the richness of textures and possibilities offered by these traditional materials. Painting became my way of expressing emotions and ideas, creating worlds where every detail holds meaning. While I continued to grow in this direction, over time, my focus shifted to digital art, which brought a new depth and freedom to my creative process. For me, digital art is not just a technique but an entire universe of possibilities without boundaries or limitations. It allows me to experiment with styles, colors, and forms, creating unique images that traditional methods could never achieve. It is my way of blending the traditions of painting with modern technologies, transforming art into a medium for connecting with the audience through the screen. Cinema plays a special role in my work. I draw inspiration from characters and their emotions, channeling this energy into my creations. Each of my works is more than just an image; it is a story designed to evoke an emotional response in the viewer. For me, art is a way to share my inner world, uniting traditions, technology, and personal impressions in a single space.

Italy

Olha Avrina

I love life, and the feeling is usually mutual!

I live with an admiration for all things beautiful, whether it is art in everyday life or life reflected in art. Painting allows me to touch that beauty and share it with others. I love sophistication in all its forms. I have been painting for only four years, but during this time I have taken several courses in Florence and participated in international competitions where my work was highly appreciated. I started painting by chance, out of curiosity, but it suddenly turned into my greatest passion.

For me, art is a way to connect the inner and outer worlds, creating harmony. It inspires, gives meaning and opens up amazing facets of beauty.

Norway

Natallia Kraknes

The desire to paint was awakened in me by my father, who became my very first teacher. I remember myself from the age of 5, when we used to paint the walls together in the evenings. I started to study art more seriously when I moved to Norway, where I graduated from two art studios and many courses. Then, together with other artists, I felt the power of the fascinating beauty of art and the magic of colours. Through them I wanted to express the idea of beauty and to find harmony in the most ordinary interactions of people, things, to immortalise the beautiful and exciting. Many of my works consist of the combination of the lyrical hero and nature, where nature complements the man, animatedly telling about him. At the moment my works are exhibited in Norway and other countries, take part in many competitions and exhibitions.

Irina Kulenko

I am an artist and an art teacher. Already in my childhood I had an interest in painting and drawing. Later I entered an art school where I learnt different techniques. I was very good at drawing people.
After that I was self-taught and acquired many other painting techniques. This is how my strong passion for watercolour painting began. Just observing the resulting colour gradients is a fascination. Influencing them is a new challenge every time. I love depicting and looking into people’s souls. I was told at an exhibition that my paintings emit an incredible amount of energy. I have been calling them energy paintings ever since. I am currently working on the theme of ‘feminine energy’.
Art is like a breath of fresh air for me. It harmonises me, on the one hand it gives me peace, on the other hand it transports me to other worlds and makes me feel connected to all these worlds. I have been passing on my passion for art to children and adults at my art school for several years now.

Since childhood, I have been passionate about drawing and sewing, meticulously crafting dresses for dolls. This passion naturally evolved into my profession, leading me to design clothes where I found true happiness. My unique style in graphics and compositions set me apart, and I create handmade accessories and embroidery. As the founder and director of my atelier, “ElenErna,” I manage my work alongside raising a family with three children. My artistic creativity is diverse, reflected in the models I draw and the feelings I convey through art. I designed and live in a home that embodies my taste and flexibility. I’ve participated in over a hundred group exhibitions and three personal ones in my homeland. Internationally, I’ve been recognized at Golden Time Talent, winning second and third places, and received the Leonardo da Vinci award in Milan. I also showcased my work at the Louvre and other prestigious festivals. I am a proud member of the League of Artists of the Union of Artists of Georgia and Art Friends.

Ilienko Anastasia

Hello! My name is Anastasia Ilenko, and I am an artist dedicated to inspiring and healing through art.

My creative journey began five years ago in Istanbul, where I first felt a true calling for art. It was there that I created my first painting, and since then, my passion for creativity has only grown. For the past three years, I have been regularly showcasing my work at the British art competition, Golden Time Tant, where my pieces have repeatedly won awards. This year, one of my paintings was sold in London, marking a significant milestone for me.

Two years ago, I also completed training in decoration and texture work. One of my artworks, created with decorative stones and micro-granite, won first place in a prestigious online competition.

Today, I create paintings with my body, bringing a unique, intuitive approach to the process. I conduct both group and individual art therapy workshops, using essential oils and natural elements to help people connect with themselves through creativity and find inner balance.

My art is a journey of self-discovery through color, texture, and harmony with nature.

Aliya Bodnar

I’ve been passionate about drawing since childhood, inspired by my grandfather, a painter whose art filled our home. Watching him work was mesmerizing, and I knew art was my first love. As I grew, I shifted towards digital design, aligning with my marketing career. I convinced myself that creating ads was another form of “painting,” but deep down, I knew they were just excuses. After my grandfather passed away, I felt compelled to return to traditional painting, starting with watercolor sketches. I found peace in these early works and began learning online. Within a year, I received my first commission for holiday cards, igniting a new path.

My art initially consisted of small sketches and simple scenes. However, a serious illness forced me to pause my fast-paced life and re-evaluate everything. During treatment, I saw the world differently, noticing the contrast between modern life and historical architecture. This inspired my artistic vision: “A Dialogue of Centuries: Modern Pulses on Historical Canvases”. My paintings now capture urban life’s stories, contrasting today’s rhythms with the calm of history.

One early work, inspired by a quiet morning in Chernivtsi, led me to Golden Time Talent, where I won top prizes, affirming my identity as an artist. Moving to the UK, I decided to take my art business seriously, leveraging my marketing experience to launch my brand, create a website, and engage in exhibitions and competitions. This is just the beginning. I believe turning your passion into a thriving business is one of life’s most fulfilling experiences.

Julia Zabrocka

I work as an English, chemistry and biology teacher, but I have been interested in art and music for a long time. First, I started painting pictures and exhibiting them, but after some time I became interested in art made using a computer. I painted with acrylics, oil paints and watercolors, which helped me a lot in learning graphic arts. I write and illustrate cartoons, which is what I like to do the most, but also in the past I would like to make computer animations for games in Blender. I also sing a little in a choir and a little on my own. I also performed as a vocalist. It gave me great pleasure.

Maryna Pasichna

Fortunately, I found my passion for art in early childhood, and I’m still lucky to guard it. Now I can’t imagine myself without fine art. 4 years of an art school, even then I decided that I would go to art college (from which I have already graduated), there were no compromises. Accomplishing academic assignments, I always tried to devote all my free time to creative searches, sometimes causing misunderstanding among teachers. But it was always incredibly inspiring and fun to be in the space that was creating in front of my eyes under a pencil or a brush. Painting is not only a means of escapism from cruel reality, but also the kindest weapon in the world, the most faithful friend, the deepest love, the most powerful medicine. Painting is a way to open your heart and get something incredibly important from there, and then convey it to the world, softening the hearts of others, making it a little more pleasant to live here. So my will is to convey this feeling of love for beauty through fine art.

Angelė Šimoliūnienė

Drawing has been my favourite activity since childhood.
When I was working as a teacher of Lithuanian language and literature, I enrolled in the Klaipėda Music Academy to study directing. Then, at M. Romeris University, I had art therapy training and psychiatry course. I also studied psychological counselling using art therapy methods at the Institute of New Technologies and Coaching. For 3 years I have been delving deeper into Third Millennium Psychology, based on Western and Eastern philosophy.I studied Art History at the Art Academy.
Our children come to us through us, we bring them up and let them go into life to continue on their own path. In the same way, my creations are like my children. They came through me and I released them into the world. They are precious to me because they have opened up a wider view of the world and what is beyond it. Looking at my paintings, I realised what is communicated to me through them, that there is a world that is invisible to us, that we are never alone, that we are always being watched – our actions and especially our thoughts are under constant surveillance.
There are many forces of good and evil around. If our actions and thoughts are pure, evil does not come near us because we are surrounded by positive energies. If our thoughts are bad, we are enveloped by negative energy, which attracts more evil and overwhelms us. My paintings reveal this attitude. I paint when inspiration comes, when I feel the energy. Pictures are viewed from 3-5 meters. I have been painting in acrylics for eight years.
Forty two solo exhibitions of my paintings have already taken place in Lithuania.

Jurate Labanauskiene

I am Jurate Labanauskiene, a creator of paintings. I categorize my work as Junk Art, Scrap Art and Steampunk. The paintings I create are made from unnecessary, unused – waste, objects. I started as an embroiderer with half-cross stitch, exhibited my works in Rumšiš and Praveniš House of Culture, at a solo exhibition in 2009. Then, immersed in another direction, I stopped my activity. However, in 2016 I had a desire to create, I wanted to create different, non-standard type of work – so my unique paintings were born, which can be attributed to the above-mentioned style. Each painting is of great importance not only for me, but also for the viewer, because in one painting there are many details that have something to say. From miniature to large, unnecessary things that come together to create a marvelous work. I mix different materials and techniques to create my own.
