Momalyu

Born: 1980

Hometown: Ljubljana

Based in: Slovenia

Liubov Kriuchkova, aka Momalyu, is an interdisciplinary artist based in Slovenia, Europe, who specialises in Fine art and pattern design. Her entire career has been centred around design and creativity. She was educated at the School of Fine Arts and she has a successful background in the furniture industry and interior design, along with a professional education in design.

Liubov was born in Siberia, and she has been painting ever since she was a young child. She has used painting to express her feelings and emotions. When she painted interior design projects for her clients, that's when she gained her first significant clientele. Then, after moving to Thailand in 2015, she gave everything up to pursue professional career in arts. The fragrant nature of Asia gave her works and paintings an air of warmth and sunlight.

She is currently living and working as an artist in Slovenia and her art focuses on the relationship between nature and humanity. In addition to collaborating with several companies to create original prints and patterns for textiles and wallpaper, she is working on a new series of paintings. These days, she mostly paints scenes from nature, a theme that permeates both her artistic and commercial endeavours.

Liubov takes part in regular exhibitions and she exhibited her works in Slovenia and Czech Republic, Italy. Her works are in private collections in Thailand, China, Australia, USA, Canada and Europe, South Africa.

 



Momalyu In The Studio

My art is a way to synchronize with my true self, to illuminate all that is good in myself and others through contemplating the beauty of nature and connecting with it.
