Hello!

I am a full-time artist residing in Mississauga, Canada.
Painting has always been my passion since I was a kid. I remember how greatly I was fascinated by the beauty of forest spending a lot of time with my grandma in my early childhood. My soul was overwhelmed by these colourful images, which still inspire me as examples of purity, mystery and artistic excellence.
I have a university degree in commerce and college diploma in computer science, but career in these fields, although quite successful, did not bring me satisfaction. It was the passion for the art that won my heart. I painted on a full-time basis from 2002 and had many successes in that period, including numerous art shows, commissions and online sales both in Canada and the United States.

My art approach derived from French Impressionists and “GROUP OF SEVEN”

I took a numerous art classes which help me to sharp my unique approach in painting.
The favourite subject to paint for me is a landscape in abstract style. I am equally interested in an expression of the colour balance, value as well as subjective aspect in my landscape paintings. Inspired by French – Canadian icon Jean-Paul Riopelle mosaics, I developed a unique painting technique that in the same colourful mosaic manner reflect the the myths of surrounding beauty. My favourite mediums are oil and acrylic.
I am a proud member of Mississauga Art Society and Mississauga Arts Council, which gives me a chance to participate in all regular art exhibitions and stay up to date.
I would like to thank all my customers, especially fans of my art for your continuing
support that allows me to express my passion and to do what I like the most. It is your kind
messages and encouraging feedback that keeps my inspiration going!
Thank you!
My best wishes
Svitlana Pryhodko
