Lana Leuchuk
Contemporary artist, Lana Leuchuk lives in Karlskrona, Sweden and produces paintings, digital media work, illustrations, drawings, watercolours and mixed media art.
Lana trained to Decorative Arts and Crafts and earned a degree of teaching Fine Art and Drawing in 1998. She creates art pieces for various businesses and projects locally and internationally, has shown her works in Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, France, Great Britain, the USA, India, Sweden and Belarus, also appeared in notable publications and books for art galleries and museums.
The artist has been nominated and received several prizes for the artistic merit in contemporary art and received the certificate for the quality of her creative work. She is the winner of the award «Årets Nybyggare 2016» in Blekinge County, Sweden, the award that King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden handles at the national level every year.
Karlskrona-based artist creates abstract realism art, infusing feelings, emotions and inner thoughts into her paintings of real-life objects playfully and emotionally. Lana’s most significant interest has always been in depicting humans, faces and silhouettes, to capture and preserve human’s emotions and movement, as well as the impression of cultural specifics.
A woman often is in focus, as an expression of sensuality, femininity and peace, which bring a delicate feel to a unique balance of colours and composition. Since she lives by the sea, she also creates a series of marine paintings that reflect the colourful elements of pure nature, the power in every view and the never-ending transformation with different light and colours.
