Anna Shkinder
Artist from Ukraine
I am a Ukrainian artist based in Lutsk, working primarily with abstract and floral paintings.
My practice is rooted in intuition and explores emotional states, memory, presence, and the human connection to nature and sensory experience. Working with fluid acrylic on raw canvas, I create atmospheric works through movement, spontaneity, and observation of the material itself.
Through color, texture, and abstraction, I aim to create spaces where viewers can pause, feel, and reconnect with their own inner experiences.

Loutrophoros
Painting by Anna Shkinder
60 x 120 cm • Canvas, Acrylic
One of a kind
The loutrophoros is one of the most sacred forms of ancient Greek pottery. It was used exclusively for the bridal bath — a ritual of purification and transition into a new life. Its tall, upward-reaching silhouette symbolizes aspiration, openness, and becoming; a moment that has not yet fully arrived.
The morning glory entwining the vessel is a flower of a single morning. It blooms at dawn and lives for only a few hours, yet it does so completely, without hesitation. It is a symbol of tenderness that is unafraid of its own fragility.
The turquoise and white palette, together with the natural unpainted canvas, evokes purity, light, and a sense of space for what is still waiting to unfold.
Created on natural unprimed cotton canvas and suspended from a wooden rod, the painting becomes an independent art object that interacts with the space without the need for a frame.
