Hello! I'm Dr. Halyna Vakulenko, Ukrainian & Canadian
cardiologist and visual artist. I'm living at Montreal area, Canada. I'm
trained on Impressionists masterpieces by my amazing teacher Hervé Teboul I'm

I grew up in Ukraine. My parents, doctor & engineer,
gave me the best education as possible. I did 8 years of piano, 6 years of
classic ballet, I played table tennis since 10 y.o & participated at
national junior & students’ competition.
I never did paint before. About 10 y.a. I went throw
difficult time; I had issue with my personal life & my health. God has
directed me to beautiful art galery of Hervé Teboul (Montreal, Canada). I went in, and few minutes
later I took my subscription for painting classes. When I see this event of
2017 back, I believe at Destiny: I went to commercial center at heart of
Montreal to help with appointment of famous cardiologist for my close friend, I
as my Gift back, I discovered my talent for painting.
Painting has healed me & help me discover new horizons.
This July 2025 I did my first exposition. I was selected for
exposition 'Summer of Colors' at Ambigu Galery, Montreal, Canada
What the Jury wrote about me:
Ukrainian origin painter and photographer, Dr. Halyna
Vakulenko offers a vibrant and deeply human perspective on the world. Her work,
infused post-impressionist influences, often evokes the emotional intensity and
expressive force of Van Gogh. With dynamic brushstrokes, and bold colors, she
brings to life poetic landscapes and everyday scenes filled with
sensitivity....
... A scientist by training and an artist by calling, Halyna
weaves a sincere and moving dialogue between art and reality.
My Artistic Journey is continuing....
