Bumblebee No 3 Painting

MYROSLAVA BOIKIV is a contemporary artist based in Toronto, predominantly working with watercolour. Her work is strongly inspired by colours and forms of the natural landscape of her homeland in Ukraine, the surroundings of Canada, and the nature she encounters along her travels. Painting in watercolour nourishes Myroslava's creativity and imagination – and they often become the source of some of her large-scale multi-media artwork. Watercolour evokes a delightful sweetness from Myroslava's childhood and art school, where her mentor Bohdan Bodnaruk first taught her how to see colour and gave her some wise life advice – "If you do not know how to paint, look at nature."
