KNOW YOURSELF

KUNAIEVA MARYNA , visual artist, Ukrainian contemporary artist. "I embrace life, simple and complex, and show the extraordinary and multifaceted nature of the universe around us." The thematic focus is on simple things that are the basis of everyday life and at the same time an integral part of a complex life. The surrealism of my work emphasizes the incompletely known world and the many secrets hidden out of sight. An experience is important to me. A unique combination of styles and techniques, the search for the new and the extraordinary. I write my works on paper as well as on canvas in "mixed media", using different materials (acrylics, felt-tips, felt-tips, pencils, ink... etc.) which gives me the opportunity to work and experiment. with lines, shapes, volumes and create different effects of space and combination of image elements. It's important to attract the viewer's attention, to have a non-verbal conversation and to convey new ideas and a new vision of simple things. "What seems important at first glance isn't just important." An early passion for drawing gave me the impetus to research and experiment in various fields of creativity, art school, fashion design, interior and landscape design, management in light industrial design. The key point in choosing painting as a professional hobby was the understanding that painting in all its creative manifestations is the greatest freedom to create and experiment. My artistic path is a long-term search and an interest in the new and the extraordinary. The search for self-expression that evolved into my own art form, my own style.
