Anzhela Dmytrenko
Her art can connect the visible with the invisible
Ukrainian Anzhela Dmytrenko loved drawing since childhood, but it was only a profound life crisis in 2009 that led the trained mechanical engineer to art. It helped her find herself and discover her true self. Soon she was successfully selling handmade polymer clay products and taking on small commissions.
In 2012, Anzhela came into contact with the airbrush technique for the first time. Although the tool seemed complicated and expensive, she found a way to acquire it and began to teach herself everything. This was a decisive step into the world of high-tech painting, where she continues to develop her own techniques and styles to this day. She calls her artistic style “lace-like mesh”—a visualization of the invisible energy from which forms emerge. She works freehand, and her favorite motifs are the “invisible” and “magical” sides of the world, where cosmic stories of unconditional love unfold.
Since 2019, Anzhela and her team have regularly held charity workshops and art events for the Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital in Kiev. Since 2022, her project, which gives children, parents, and doctors hope and faith in miracles despite the horrors of war and tragic events in Ukraine, has been supported by Harder & Steenbeck. This experience showed her that airbrushing can be not only a tool for visual beauty, but also for inner strength and hope. Since November 2024, Anzhela has been trying to settle into life in Hamburg with her family.
