Matish (Olexandra) was born and grew up near the Carpathians in western Ukraine. Her penchant for visual arts as a formal education was diverted by her parents' insistence on a more practical career, leading to success in chemistry and finance after graduating from the Western Ukrainian National University.
"Art has always been a part of my soul. I've explored painting techniques in still life, landscapes, portraits, and Petrykiv painting."
Matish has been commissioned by churches, and connoisseurs looking for unique additions to their private collections.
Projects can be assigned based on a photo for portraiture, or a description for imaginary scenes. On location work, such as murals, require additional planning. Contact me via Instagram or email for details.
