About Svitlana Tykhomyrova

Svitlana Tykhomyrova is a Ukrainian contemporary artist living and working in Belgium. In her paintings, Svitlana explores the interaction between colour and form, the rational and the irrational, movement and stillness, spontaneity and structure, as well as the emotional experiences that arise in the perception of the surrounding world. Her creative process is intuitive and free, driven by experimentation and discovery. The act of painting itself holds special meaning for her — it becomes a form of inner exploration and self-discovery. Svitlana is deeply fascinated by the process of bringing inner chaos into visual order on the canvas, transforming it into something harmonious, associative, and aesthetically complete. With a strong artistic sensibility, Svitlana works across several painting genres — abstraction, contemporary landscape, and floral abstraction. Her abstract landscapes are deep, multilayered, and enigmatic. They invite the viewer into an almost meditative contemplation, where gaze can linger indefinitely. Abstraction is the artist's most beloved form of expression. She considers it the most complex and captivating for both the artist and the viewer. Abstraction stimulates the imagination, encouraging us to go beyond the visible and the material. Svitlana Tykhomyrova's abstract paintings are expressive, well-balanced in terms of color and emotional impact. Her creative process combines spontaneity with intention, intuition with thoughtful attention to form and composition. Through layering, color palettes, texture, and expressive gestures, she creates unique visual worlds. In the interplay of ambiguity and clarity, energy and calm, light and shadow, she reflects the beauty of nature's transience, the speed of the modern world, and the ever-shifting landscape of human emotions, fantasies, and associations.
