About
Milena Vydrenkova
When I was young my dad taught me how to paint. As an artist himself he introduced me to the joy of creating art from an early age. Art quickly become something I loved and I always knew I wanted it to remain as apart of my life as I grew older.
Back in Ukraine I attended an art school for six years where I developed a strong foundation of academic art and explored a variety of academic techniques.I took part of many exhibitions gaining valuable experience and confidence as a young artist. Later I studied art and design in Stratford-upon-Avon college where I enjoyed freedom to experiment and explore new ideas. The cource introduced me to a more diverse and creative side of art, allowing me to move beyond the academic foundations and develop my own artistic voice.
How it started
Today much of my inspiration comes from a natural beauty of the English countryside. Living in the Cotswolds I am surrounded by landscapes, wildlife, flowers and changing seasons that constantly inspire me to create. I love quiet moments and small details that can easily go unnoticed such as evening light across the field or delicate beauty of small wildflowers in bloom, I enjoy capturing these moments in my paintings and turning them into something that can be enjoyed long after that moment has passed.
My work is for anyone who shares a love of nature and the countryside. Whether you live in countryside and want to capture a beautiful moment of life here or live in the busy city and want to bring a little bit of warmth and piece into your home. I hope my paintings can create that feeling of connection with nature wherever you are.

Commissioning art
Alongside my original painting, I also create bespoke commissions. Whether it’s requiring a piece of art that fits your home or a piece of art that feature your favourite flowers, flowers from your garden or a bouquet created for special occasion. I can turn those moments in a long lasting memory.
Each painting is created especially for you, making it a unique and personal piece of art.
If you have any particular idea in mind, I would love to create something meaningful for you.
The process is really straightforward and usually takes 3-4 weeks.
