About Ulyana Turchenko

Ulyana Turchenko was born in 1980 in Ukraine (Lviv).
She studied in Lviv at the Artistic School of Oleksa Novakivskyi.
In 2002, she graduated from the Ivan Trush Lviv State College of Decorative and Fine Arts.
Since 2014 she has been living and working in Poland (Stargard).
In 2016, she was a consultant and lecturer for the stone lithography in Jilin College of the Art, China.
2019 – Finalist «Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize» Traditional Art, Australia.

Ulyana creates in the technique of stone lithography, painting, and drawing. Her works are made in the style of symbolism and fantastic realism with surrealistic motives.

The fantastic world of her works is multifaceted due to the skillful use of symbols and signs. A bold combination of images of the mythological and real worlds gives her works deep content and poetic sound, which enchants and carefully leads us to the land of bright dreams.

In her works, figures, animals, and plants are intertwined and often flow into one another, which gives them a philosophical meaning. The combination of open, bright colors and muted shades of black creates the illusion that the images and objects in the paintings appear and disappear from the viewer’s field of vision.

Ulyana’s works are like a magic book that tells a new story every time it is opened. People, gods, and mystical creatures lead us to unknown worlds, through which you can wander endlessly. These are worlds where nothing is impossible.
