About this artwork
Created in the summer of 2019 for Yaryna Shumska's solo exhibition "Layers" in Lviv, this piece is an integral part of the "Road" triptych.
The artwork serves as a profound exploration of the intersection between human presence and physical movement. Shumska delves into the research of expression, capturing the raw energy of a journey not just through space, but through emotion. The dynamic traces of paint act as a visual record of the artist's… gestures—each stroke a step, each layer a memory of the path taken.
In this work, the "road" is interpreted as a continuous process of becoming. The textures and fluid lines invite the viewer to follow the rhythm of the artist's hand, discovering the subtle tension between intentionality and the spontaneous flow of the medium.

« 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.
