Janet Pulcho (Zhanna Pulcho) is a contemporary Ukrainian watercolor artist based in Florence, Italy. She is widely recognized for her large-scale floral paintings that challenge the traditional perception of watercolor.
With over 14 years of experience, she has developed a distinctive approach combining monumental scale, refined realism, and abstract backgrounds. Flowers in her work are expressive forms conveying movement, emotional depth, and inner harmony, exploring the tension between control and spontaneity, strength and delicacy.
A graduate of the Odessa State Academy of Civil Engineering and Architecture, she became the youngest member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. After relocating to Italy and studying at the Florence Academy of Art, she began reinterpreting Renaissance masterpieces through monumental floral compositions.
Pulcho works exclusively with professional watercolor pigments, blending alla prima techniques with layered detailing for depth, transparency, and vibrancy. She participates in international exhibitions, collaborates with brands, and conducts workshops, sharing her contemporary approach with a global audience.
