Maryna Shkoliar

Im a realistic artist, painter in the second generation, born and rise in Khmelnitsky, Ukraine. As an artist rooted in classical traditions, I explore the intersection of realism , impressionism and modern art. My work is a visual dialogue between the tangible world and the emotional realm. Through painting, I delve into the depths of the human experience, evoking memories, a subtle sense of nostalgia, and a profound sense of connection to the past. Working primarily in oil and acrylic, I take a versatile approach, combining fluid brushwork with expressive impasto techniques.

My artistic process is an intimate exploration of light, color, and form. Carefully observing the world around me, I capture fleeting moments and imbue them with personal meaning. Each brushstroke is a deliberate attempt to convey the emotional essence of my subjects, inviting viewers on a journey of introspection.

Inspired by the masters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, I strive to create work that has a timeless quality while reflecting modernity. Exploring the universal human experience in art, I aim to strengthen the connection between my artwork and the observer, deeply resonating with them, offering a moment of solace and a sense of hope.
