Anna Shkarban

My art is rooted in emotion, memory, and the quiet beauty found in
everyday moments. I paint to express what words often cannot — the
tenderness between a human and an animal, the stillness of a summer
field, or the silent resilience in someone’s eyes. I began painting professionally during a time of great personal and
national upheaval — the war in Ukraine. Art became a way to process, to
heal, and to connect. Through my work, I strive to preserve peace, warmth, and inner strength in a world full of uncertainty. Nature is my greatest source of inspiration. Its richness, unpredictability, and quiet power captivate me — from vast mountain
landscapes to the smallest leaf or sunlit blade of grass. I believe beauty
lives in the details, and I love to notice and share it — even in the most
ordinary things. I work in a realistic and emotional style, using acrylics to convey
not just an image, but a feeling. Each painting holds a part of me — a
moment, a breath, a connection — that I hope will touch others in their
own unique way.

I’ve participated in several group exhibitions across Ukraine, including:
International Museum Day – Kyiv, 2025
Generation of War: Year Three – Kyiv, 2025
