My name is Maryana. I am a Ukrainian-born artist who lives in the USA.
 
I cannot imagine myself without canvas, paints, and paintbrushes. My desire to paint is unrelenting, and keeps me up at night if I let it happen. I find inspiration everywhere, especially in nature: birds, trees, a sunset, a seascape, the stars… Harmony in nature renders the most astounding masterpieces.
 
My abstract painting draws from nature – all I have to do is pick a color,
and allow it to gently guide me through the creative process. Moods and emotional landscapes overlap nature’s themes,
and try to find in my paintings their expression.
 
I usually work with acrylic on canvas, although I love the challenge
of delving into different styles and techniques, and I’m not afraid to fail. I decided to open my online gallery to erase physical borders,
and reach out to as many art enthusiasts as possible.
