About this artwork
In a world where reality has become so pervasive that the purely abstract loses its meaning, this work stands as a living document of existence. Through a fusion of text, figurative elements, and bold abstraction, І explore the fragile boundary where painful reality begins to dissolve into the intangible. Executed in an expressionist manner with elements of realism, the palette of yellow, blue, and grey reflects a world oscillating between clarity…
and chaos. This is not merely a painting—it is the sensation of the 'present.' The work prompts the viewer to find the point where the material world ends and the internal processing of experience begins.

« 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.
