The Artist
Structure& Emotion
Born in Odesa, Ukraine, I carry the memory of the Black Sea and the rigor of my Fine Arts Master's degree. When the war began, I started working with soldiers through art, and it changed the way I understand what a painting can do. It can hold you still. It can bring you back to yourself. Now, I create in the vibrant light of the Mediterranean, combining the technical precision of my academic roots with the soulful, untamed textures of the Spanish landscape. Every piece is a balance of structure and emotion, designed to bring calm to your space.
Beyond the Studio
When the war in Ukraine began, Maryna turned her practice outward, founding an art therapy and rehabilitation programme for soldiers in partnership with her university in Odesa. What started as a personal response has grown into something larger, with students and graduates now joining to lead workshops and support those returning from the front. The work reinforced a core belief she carries into her studio: that art is not a luxury, but something people need.
The Disciplines
Oil Painting
Expertise in large-scale oil canvases. I layer pigment to create deep, vibrating fields of color that hold the weight of memory and time.
Big Watercolors
Pushing the medium beyond the sketchbook. My watercolors are expansive, capturing the fluidity of light and air on a monumental scale.
Sculptural Ceramics
Tactile forms for luxurious homes. I shape clay into grounding objects that invite touch and bring an organic presence to modern interiors.
