Volha Ikhelis
Artist, Designer & Founder of My Art Loft, Limassol, Cyprus
I was born in Belarus and have lived across Europe — from the powerful, fast rhythm of London to the calm, sunlit pace of Cyprus, which I now call home. These two worlds shaped how I create: London taught me clarity, structure, and the beauty of precision, while Cyprus showed me stillness, balance, and the quiet emotion of space.
My professional journey has always been about designing designing solutions in the IT world — bringing clarity and beauty to complex systems and helping ideas take meaningful shape. I’ve always been drawn to both structure and emotion, to the way logic and intuition can coexist. That approach defines everything I do — whether I’m shaping a digital solution, designing an interior or creating art for a physical space. My strength lies in seeing the bigger picture, understanding how elements connect, and designing experiences that feel right.
Over time, this natural sense of balance evolved into a new creative path — one that combines art and interior design. That’s how My Art Loft was born: a space in Limassol where art, design, and atmosphere meet to create spaces that reflect the people who live in them.
My Vision
I believe that art and interiors are deeply connected — both are forms of emotional architecture. A painting can transform a room, and a well-designed space can make art come alive. My vision is to bring these two worlds together, creating harmony between walls, light, and the human spirit.
Through My Art Loft, I design interiors, create custom artworks and collaborate on interior design projects in Cyprus and beyond. Each project is designed to belong — to complement textures, colors, and the emotional tone of a space. My goal is to help people surround themselves with beauty that feels personal, balanced, and meaningful.
My Approach
Every project begins with a story. I take time to understand the atmosphere of a home, the lifestyle of its owners, and the feeling they want to evoke. From there, I translate that essence into visual language — through form, texture, and color.
Whether I’m designing an interior concept or creating a single artwork, I focus on the emotional connection between people and space. I aim to create harmony — not perfection — a sense that everything belongs exactly where it is.
My Inspiration
I’m inspired by people — by the environments they build around themselves and the emotions those spaces hold. Every interior reflects its owner’s personality, energy, and dreams. My art grows from this connection, turning feeling into form and design into atmosphere.
For me, inspiration lives in authenticity. In spaces that reflect life, not just style. In art that feels calm, confident, and quietly alive.
My mission with My Art Loft is to create spaces that tell human stories — where art and interior design work together to express who we are and how we live.
