About this artwork
"Over the River" is a poetic exploration of silence and the awakening of life. Painted in the depths of winter, this artwork captures the artist's longing for spring—a moment where the quiet frost meets the first stirrings of warmth. It is a visual representation of the transition from stillness to movement.
The composition vibrates with the energy of the first sun rays hitting the water, signaling the start of a new life cycle. Shumska’s light,… intentional strokes evoke the sensation of ice melting and the river beginning to flow faster, carrying away the silence of winter.
This minimalistic yet deeply emotive landscape serves as a reminder of nature’s resilience. With its calming palette and optimistic narrative, it brings a sense of renewal and peaceful clarity to any interior. It is an invitation to witness the eternal rhythm of life and the beauty of a new beginning.

« 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.
