About this artwork
It is an intimate exploration of emotional proximity and the lingering "trace of a presence." Created with a focus on the sensory experience of touch, this artwork captures the warmth of being mentally close to someone, even when they are physically absent. It celebrates those fleeting moments of connection that fulfill us and soften the world around us.
The palette is a harmony of deep blue, steady grey, and bold black, all anchored by the organic… warmth of ochre. These colors blend to create a surface that feels both protective and vulnerable. Due to its balanced tonal depth, this painting possesses a versatile elegance, suiting both minimalist light interiors and dramatic dark walls. "Tenderness" is an invitation to embrace the subtle, quiet energies that make our lives more human and profoundly more gentle.

« 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.
