Mila Ryk

Artist on VibrantCast

I have loved art for as long as I can remember. I am a third-generation artist born in Ukraine, and that early passion is what first led me into a graphic design world. Since moving to the United States and settling in Chicago, my life has completely transformed. It wasn’t an easy road to learn a new way of living and working, learning a language to establish myself to become who I am now. My twenty-plus year career as a graphic designer then an art director/publisher, and a business owner. Today, I dedicate myself entirely to fine art, and I am deeply thankful for the freedom to express my worldview through the prism of my eyes, emotions and feelings that I throw on the canvas using oil paint I love the most.In my art, I do not just paint physical objects. Instead, I paint my dreams, my fantasies, and a multi-layered perspective seen through a woman's gaze.
