Manhattan Painting

I’m Yevheniia Myroshnychenko, an artist from Kyiv CHEPURNA. 41 years old. My path to fine art wasn’t smooth, straight, and short. I started my career in the real estate market. It was good for my pocket but not enough for my soul. So I revealed theater for myself. The 15-year theatrical experience being an actress taught me to feel and be open, to accept myself and laugh at the sad, not to be afraid to be different and make mistakes, to look for depth and essence, and not to decorate the surface. In the end, it made a big influence on my development as an artist. It was only in the summer of 2018, during an evening jog, that the plot I wanted to draw appeared in my head. And although I didn't know how to put it into practice, I decided to give it a try. So in an hour, I was sitting with a simple pencil in my hand, drawing an imagination. And the next day, brushes, oil, and canvas appeared in my house. They were followed by spatulas, easels, lessons, more and more paintings, projects, and exhibitions. I paint my philosophy of life, my own vision of the world and good things, and the unusual in everyday life. I am looking for a beautiful expression of even painful and unpleasant things and feelings. I try to help the viewer look inside himself and see life from different angles. Through the beautiful express the charmless, thereby showing the ability to live with it and move forward. That's how one summer day turned my life upside down and that's how the artist CHEPURNA was born. I work in abstract, neo-impressionism, and primitivism styles.
