Artist's story
Vladlena Miroyan is an artist born in Ukraine and currently lives in London.
Her journey in art began at an early age, nurtured by a lifelong passion for creativity and self-expression. When Vladlena was 14th she went to construction university for the preparatory courses ‘Junior Architect’ where she studied descriptive geometry and technical drawing for 3 years involving drawings of classical sculpture casts and philosopher’s busts. After graduating from the school entered the construction university and after 6 years of full time studying was graduated from Kharkiv’s State University of Construction and Architecture as an Architect of Residential and Industrial buildings.
In 2000 with her daughter she moved to UK to persuade her career in architecture and engineering. She worked in Construction Industry for several years, acquired Interior Design diploma and did few property developing projects.
Over the years, her expertise has seamlessly blended with her unwavering passion for art, and lately, Vladlena dedicates herself to become a professional artist.
Recently she has participate in some art exhibition:
London Urban sketches exhibition - March 2025;
TALP The Artist & Leisure Painter Open Art Competition 2025 - May 2025.
She travels extensively exploring other cities and cultures, gaining inspiration for her art from the local art galleries and museums in different countries. She sketches plein air, takes travel photos, records all ideas in her travel sketch books to paint them later in her studio in Surrey.
As an artist, she draws inspiration from the world around her, finding beauty in everyday moments. Her creative journey is shaped by a foundation in architecture and design, where technical precision now blends seamlessly with the expressive freedom of her art. With a distinctive perspective, she seeks to craft artwork that is both visually compelling and emotionally evocative, often expressing her vision through watercolour—a medium she deeply loves for its fluidity, spontaneity, and subtle beauty.
