Selected Works
Art & Expression
Each painting is a story told through color and form. My work explores the intersection of geometric abstraction and raw emotion, creating dynamic compositions that pulse with energy.
Using bold contrasts and vibrant palettes, I capture movement and rhythm on canvas. Every piece invites viewers into a dialogue between structure and spontaneity, order and chaos, mind and heart.

Painting with wine, framing with light, collecting stories in colors and pixels.

about the artist
julia rybalko
Hi! I’m an artist and photographer. Originally from Ukraine, but for the past nine years I’ve been living in Portugal — and I think it’s already settled inside me.
A country I ended up in thanks to a completely unexpected reason… football. 2014, the European Championship — and well, the rest is history.
Since then, I’ve been here — learning to live slower, to feel the light, to breathe the ocean, and to enjoy that famous Portuguese calma everyone keeps talking about.
And yes, I’ve also become pretty good at understanding green wine — vinho verde pairs perfectly with inspiration (and with life itself).
I paint with acrylics and shoot with a camera. There’s no perfection in my work — just mood, impulse, and a bit of chaos, like in life itself.
Everything I create reflects my rhythm: a bit of sunlight, a bit of mess, a bit of wine, and honest emotions with no filters.

Photography, for me, is about observing. No setups, no chasing “the perfect shot” — just a moment that feels right to keep.

Photography
Shoot Portugal — and everything that happens off-frame. Sometimes it’s light, sometimes a mood, sometimes just a good shadow.
Based in Portugal
8 years between the ocean and inspiration.
Passion & Joy
Art doesn’t work without pleasure. Color, motion, a little wine, and a good mood — that’s the whole kit.
Don’t worry, it’s abstract.
