About me

Hello, my name is Nadiia Zhebrakovska, and I’m an artist and illustrator.

I was born in 1977 in Odessa, Ukraine, and graduated in 2000 from the Oshinsky South Ukrainian National Pedagogical University, specializing in painting and graphics. Since 2011, I have been living in the Netherlands and currently call Nieuw-Vennep my home.

My artistic style blends realism with touches of fantasy. I enjoy working with colored pencils, pastels, oils, and sometimes acrylic paint.

In recent years, I have actively shared my work at various art markets across the Netherlands, starting in 2021. A special highlight was exhibiting at the National Museum of the Black Tulip in Lisse during the Kleurenpracht 2024 exhibition. That same year, I was proud to be part of the final exhibition of the Painting of the Year 2024 competition, which took place from January 18 to March 1, 2025, at the RRMND Gallery in Roermond.

More recently, in May 2025, I exhibited my work at the Verbinding exhibition held on May 10–11 at Museum Farm Hat Gagelgat in Soest, NL.

I am also a member of several artist communities, including Podium for Local Artists, Kunstkring Haarlemmermeer, Paard Verzameld, KuKo, and the National Association of Visual Artists NABK.

As a freelance artist, I’m always excited to connect with people who appreciate art — whether through my illustrations, exhibitions, or a shared love of creativity. Thank you for visiting my page, and feel free to explore my work!
