About this artwork
This still life is a commentary on the contemporary obsession with "purity" and the construction of an idealized lifestyle. At first glance, it appears to be a classical study of a green jug and pears, but a closer look reveals a playful and critical dialogue with modern branding. The labels—proclaiming "100% Organic"—become ironic markers of our desire to categorize and consume "nature" through commercial signs.
As a key conceptual element, I… painted the shadow of a Monstera leaf on the wall. While the shadow is vivid and present, the plant itself does not exist; it is an imaginary object. This "fake shadow" explores the duality of presence and absence, suggesting how we surround ourselves with the images of nature (the "urban jungle" aesthetic) rather than nature itself.

« 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.
