About this artwork
This artwork is a central piece of my triptych. It is an imaginative exploration of the horizon, where the natural beauty of a sunset meets the rhythmic movements of the modern world. I used a vibrant yet sophisticated palette of red, blue, and yellow, balanced by deep blacks and dark, atmospheric greys. For me, this is more than just a landscape; it is a complex interplay of light and shadow, captured through expressive gestures.
A key element… of this piece is the presence of plane traces—the linear marks left by flight—which I have transformed into artistic lines that cut through the sky. These traces represent human presence and the constant motion of our lives within the vastness of nature. By combining these textures, I invite the viewer to look up and feel the energy of a sky that is never truly still.

« 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.
