Veronica Melnyk


Veronika is an artist known in Ukraine and Canada. Many of her masterpieces are In private collections worldwide.

After getting her art education in Ukraine, Veronika immigrated to Canada in 2001, where she started studying and working on icon-painting under the direction of the iconographer Alexei Mezentsev.

She notes that even some professional artists often underestimate the true beauty and peculiarity of ancient icons. Nevertheless, it is the icon's uniqueness that attracted Veronika's attention - it perfectly combines fascinating colours and the ancient history of this art technique.

When It comes to the sense of art and its purpose, Veronika suggests that making the world better and brighter should be a large part of it. In her opinion, today we see too much darkness and cruelty in the world. With her art Veronika Melnyk tries to make people's life more interesting, informative and meaningful.
