About this artwork
Created in a burst of creative impulse during the summer of 2019, "Shadow of the Sun I" captures the vibrant, electric mood of a hot seasonal day. This work is a masterclass in color theory; the striking combination of fiery orange and deep blue creates an incredibly impressive visual vibration that radiates heat and energy.
As the first part of a dynamic diptych, this painting explores the interplay between blinding light and the cool shadows it… casts. Shumska’s gestural strokes reflect a moment of pure emotional expression, translating the physical sensation of summer into an abstract language. Whether displayed alone as a bold accent or alongside its counterpart, this piece brings a sense of radiant positivity and rhythmic vitality to any contemporary space.

« 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.
