Painting by Anastasiia Maistrenko
50 x 70 cm • Oil on canvas
Location:
Vyshhorod, Ukraine
I purposely distort and complicate the form in my figurative works to make the image more
expressive and deep. I create works about real people and fictional characters. Still, I
always try to bring the essence of the characters as much as possible. They are like rigid
characters from myths and legends. With the help of stylization, I make the images
monumental. It's not just a form; it's an image, a character that carries a story.
