Ukrainian artist and one of the key representatives of the New Ukrainian Wave.
EDUCATION
Studied at the Lviv State Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts.
FOCUS
Maryna's works became an integral part of the New Ukrainian Wave—an artistic movement that programmatically connected its vision to postmodernism, reinterpreting traditional Ukrainian art through a renewed aesthetic. One of the central themes of her art is the nude human figure in space.
AWARDS AND HONORS
As part of a cultural exchange program, she received a scholarship from the Christoph Merian Stiftung in Basel, Switzerland.
