My Studio Practice

My name is Maryna Riepnova. I am an artist living and working in Málaga. I started Repka Arts to share the spontaneous joy of my studio practice.

The name 'Repka' is a play on my last name, but in Ukrainian it also means 'turnip.' It is a nod to my roots. Simple, grounded, and growing naturally.
