About

Hi, I am Anna Ulyahysna. I am passionate about exploring the theme of freedom and self-determination through my artwork. I believe that art has the unique ability to express the human experience in an authentic and direct way, and can create beauty and freedom that is often lacking in the world around us.

My art style blends realism with surrealism to create powerful and thought-provoking works. I am interested in exploring the deeper human need for individual freedom beyond political issues. I celebrate and explore this fundamental desire for autonomy through my art. Through my artworks, I invite people to push beyond the limits of what is possible and to reflect on their own quest for freedom and their relationship to the world.
