Overzicht

I love the unique beauty created by God.
I love naturalness, sincerity, true emotions... They help to create not tracing paper, not the same type, but special images.
I like to draw people, their eyes.
Often people say that the eyes in my portraits are as if alive.
Today, the sizes of paintings are from 20*30 to 2*3 meters, I think I will try larger formats.

During travel I draw graphic works on paper:) this is a separate story...
I invite you to take a look in the “Graphics” section.

My exhibitions were held in Ukraine and other cranes in Europe.
Last year there were three exhibitions in the United States.

Currently I am working on creating portraits of famous Ukrainians in order to raise the memory of them.
Also opened a line of clothes on which my paintings are depicted.

I invite you to my creative world.

Reviews

Mrs. Mykola, infinitely grateful for “Hutsulka”. I really appreciate your individual approach and patience with the customer. Your talent is now being admired in Texas as well. This picture is also special for me because it was created by a Lviv resident (not everyone who is from Lviv is a Lviv, since not everyone from Ukraine is a Ukrainian). I wish you further creative success and spiritual inspiration.

When I saw this picture for the first time, I asked Nick if models pose for him or does he draw from imagination?... because I just saw myself at a young age and I wanted to see this girl again!
The next day - my husband gave me this painting that he bought from Niko Strus, because it reminds him of me too! Now she flaunts in a prominent place in our home! This is the first painting that we have acquired in our lives and it is the most valuable for us, because the artist is not only talented, but also a beautiful person with whom we managed to make friends!
More inspiration to you, Nick, to create such beautiful pictures and make this world beautiful!

Extremely grateful for such an artistic masterpiece, the portrait not only visualizes the person as much as possible, but also conveys the character and charisma of the painted!
Subtle craftsmanship and attention to detail make this work a true work of art. The painting radiates warmth and soulfulness that amazes everyone who sees it.
