Valentyna is a self-taught watercolor artist who began by sketching everyday life, creating a visual diary of moments and impressions. Over time, her practice expanded from small sketches to larger works. Balancing an office career with her art, Valentyna believes creativity can coexist with everyday life. In 2026, her work was selected for the Fabriano in Aquarello exhibition as part of the Greek team. Her motto is Be yourself and sketch. What started as a personal hobby has grown into a supportive and inspiring community that continues to shape her artistic voice. 

“I discovered DANIEL SMITH watercolors in 2015 and instantly fell in love. Painting has become my way to slow down, recharge, and truly enjoy the process. Even with a full-time office job, I make time to paint whenever I can—and DANIEL SMITH watercolors make every moment special with their rich pigments, subtle shimmer, and beautiful granulation. I am delighted to be part of the DANIEL SMITH community!”
