About this artwork
This drawing is part of a series I created while observing the daily lives of dogs in the parks of my city, Lviv. I have always been fascinated by the unique energy of dachshunds — their inquisitive, "scavenging" nature and their constant movement.
In this work, I explored the power of minimalism. My goal was to find maximum expression through the simplest means: a single line or a strategic spot. This type of work requires high precision and mastery… of gesture; since there are no unnecessary details, every stroke must be final and intentional. I sought to capture the very essence of their character — that specific "inquisitive" spirit — through the spontaneous yet disciplined movement of my hand.
This piece was featured in my solo exhibition in Lviv (August-September 2019).
The drawing is professionally framed and ready to be part of your collection.

« 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.
