Mural in Italian house by Zhanna Bashuk-Kirnadz in Calgary
Mural in Italian house
In many Italian homes, wall paintings are a beloved tradition. They add warmth, character, and a lived-in feeling to the space. This acrylic mural brings that charm indoors - painting a rustic fireplace scene with soft details like hanging pots, stacked logs, and a basket of flowers. It blends everyday comfort with a touch of nostalgia, making the room feel welcoming and full of stories.

Calgary, CanadaHi, I’m Zhanna - a Ukrainian artist with over 40 years of experience. I love working in different styles and techniques, but oil painting on canvas is where I feel most at home. It’s how I share emotion, beauty, and soul through art.
I spent nearly 20 years in Italy painting murals, restoring old villas, and decorating churches. I’ve done over 800 wall paintings across Europe. I also enjoy painting on fabric, furniture, wood, stones, and even clothing and souvenirs - turning everyday things into something special.
Every piece I make comes from the heart, with care and character built into every brushstroke.
These days I’m living in Alberta, Canada, and finding joy in painting the beautiful local landscapes.
