About this artwork
"Harbour" is a profound reflection on the dialogue between the rhythms of nature and the human soul. Inspired by the hypnotic sound and movement of water, Yaryna Shumska captures the essence of the harbour—not just as a place of shelter, but as a vital starting point for new journeys. This artwork explores the silence and harmony found at the water’s edge, where the soul finds the clarity to move forward.
The composition is built through a sophisticated… map of traces and gestures, rendered in a rich spectrum of grey shadows. These monochromatic tones evoke the atmospheric mist of a port at dawn. Through its balanced forms and rhythmic brushwork, "Harbour" radiates a sense of meditative calmness. It is a timeless piece that brings intellectual depth and a serene, coastal elegance to any contemporary space, serving as a reminder of the quiet strength found in new beginnings.

« 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.
