About this artwork
"Behind the Window" is a sophisticated study of chromatic nuances and introspection. Created during the transition between autumn and winter in 2020, this artwork captures the quiet observation of a world viewed from within. The dominant grey palette is not a sign of coldness, but a refined foundation for a delicate color harmony that reveals itself upon closer inspection.
Yaryna Shumska employs a multi-layered technique, creating a surface that… "speaks" through its rich texture. Each layer represents a passing moment, a filtered light, or a silent thought captured during a time of global stillness. This tactile depth gives the painting a living, breathing quality.
With its elegant neutral tones, the artwork is exceptionally versatile, making a profound statement on both minimalist white and dramatic dark walls. It is an invitation to find beauty in the subtle shifts of light and the peaceful solitude of the winter season.

« I work with painting, performance art, installation, and dance. I'm interested in the research of spaces with human presence and looking for situations that reveal dual reality and ambiguity. »
Yaryna Shumska is a multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the gap between performance and abstract painting, creating what she calls an "archive of action."
She is a prize-winning Ukrainian artist whose works have been widely exhibited on a national level, as well as in Poland, France, Spain and the United States. Her artistic geography is truly global, ranging from the Venice International Performance Art Week and Tokyo to Bangkok, Barcelona, and the Arctic Action in Svalbard. A significant place in her practice is occupied by abstract painting from the 2008–2020 period, which served as a foundation for exploring the canvas as a space for "inhabiting" action. In these works, color and texture function not merely as visual elements, but as mediums for internal rhythm and energy. These canvases laid the groundwork for her current practice, where painting is transformed into a direct imprint of physical presence.
