Hi there! I am a professional Ukrainian artist. All my life I have been painting, sculpting,
and drawing. In the process of painting, I like to emphaze the liveliness and originality of
nature as well as creating my own form of harmony. I use academic skills as a basis,
and at the same time I'm excited to try new different techniques and materials.
My activity is plein airs, making original oil painting depicting nature, people. I also work
with creative painting in the studio.

"Dahlias"
Painting by Helen Shukina
100 x 100 cm • Canvas, Acrilic
Location:
Kyiv, Ukraine
"Dahlias"
This vibrant, joyful acrylic painting transports the viewer into the heart of summer, where everything is filled with light, warmth, and vivid color. In the foreground bloom lush dahlias and delicate roses, painted in a modern, free-flowing style with expressive brushstrokes and bold color contrasts.
The painting captures not only the beauty of a summer garden but also an emotional state—a feeling of joy, freedom, and deep connection with nature. These are not just flowers; they are the very essence of summer, frozen in bold, energetic strokes. This work is perfect for those who appreciate contemporary art, expressive painting, and the power of color.
This artwork was painting in the garden near my home.
I will send this painting rolled in the tube with wooden stretchers.
