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.

The State of Water” is an observation of a lake in autumn, at that brief moment when the sun no longer has the intensity of summer and its reflection gradually loses its clarity. The water changes its colour, becoming deeper, quieter, and more muted. Shades of green, ochre, and grey intertwine, creating the feeling of a surface that is constantly shifting with the light.
Rather than depicting the landscape literally, I am interested in capturing a state — the stillness of the lake, the soft autumn light, and the transition from the brightness of summer into the restraint of autumn.
