Artist Statement:
My name is Anastasiia Valiulina, and I am a professional full-time artist. My artistic journey began in childhood under the guidance of my grandfather, who was also an artist. I painted my first oil painting when I was about 10 years old, and since then, art has been an inseparable part of my life.
I have a degree in fine arts and was fortunate to study with renowned Ukrainian artists, which helped shape my style and techniques. Inspired by the Impressionists, I create paintings that capture light, color, and emotion through a bright, expressive, and multi-layered texture. My works are often inspired by personal experiences—travels, events, people, and even dreams.
Since 2022, I have been living and working in Israel and am proud to be a member of the Association of Professional Artists of Israel. Exhibiting through online galleries and social media has allowed my art to reach collectors in more than 30 countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.
Through my paintings, I strive to evoke emotions, memories, and a sense of wonder in the viewer. Thank you for visiting my gallery—I hope my artworks bring you as much joy as I felt while creating them.

Artistic Influences:
My grandfather was an artist, and his passion for painting greatly influenced my creative path. I am also deeply inspired by the works of Claude Monet, Mikhail Vrubel, and Amedeo Modigliani, who are my favorite artists. Impressionism, with its focus on light, color, and emotion, resonates strongly with me and continues to shape my artistic vision.
