Marichka Grygoriva

I am a Ukrainian painter based in Kyiv, working primarily in oil on canvas.

My practice explores the relationship between landscape, memory and a sense of belonging.

My paintings often depict Kyiv, Ukrainian countryside, roads, fields, forests and water, with particular attention to twilight and night. Through changes in light, atmosphere and season, I explore themes of presence and absence, home, remembrance and the emotional connection we form with places.

I hold a Master’s degree in Easel Painting from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv. Alongside my studio practice, I have participated in Ukrainian and international cultural projects, plein airs, exhibitions, residencies and charitable art initiatives since 2017.

My work is held in private collections in Ukraine, Europe and the United States.
