Artist Aleksandra Paranchenko

I feel happiness, I paint it!
I’m an artist from Kherson, a town in southern Ukraine. Since childhood, I’ve dreamed of becoming an artist — to capture the beauty around me: forests, fields, and those breathtaking, fiery sunsets. I wanted to paint the way nature creates: freely, sincerely, and with love. That longing to express the world’s magic has guided my entire journey in art.
I paint bright, whimsical stories filled with light and joy. Each of my works is born from a good mood and carries warmth, sincerity, and positivity. Every painting tells its own tale — a world where imaginary characters and colorful landscapes whisper that there is still wonder in everyday life. My goal is to help people reconnect with that childlike sense of awe and trust in simple, pure feelings.
My professional path began at an art lyceum and continued with a degree from the Kyiv Academy of Culture and Arts. Today, I regularly take part in exhibitions and festivals, sharing my work with audiences across Europe.
Now based in northern Sweden, I find inspiration in the silence of the forest, the northern lights, and the timeless legends of Lapland. I’m a proud member of the Swedish Artists’ Association (Konstnärernas Riksorganisation) and Artist Center (Konstnärscentrum), where I’m part of a vibrant, creative community.
My paintings are an invitation into a world of joy, color, and imagination. I pour my heart into every piece, and nothing brings me more happiness than knowing that one of them may bring light and warmth into your home.
