Yunquera
She spent twenty years imagining these white walls from a cold Odesa hallway. In Yunquera, she finally stood inside the painting. This is what that morning looked like.

About This Work
The view looks straight up a narrow street toward the church tower, white walls on both sides and deep morning shadows cutting across them. Maryna painted this on location in a single session. You can feel it in the washes, the way the light sits inside the paper rather than being painted on top of it.
There is a woman in red at the bottom of the street. She is small, almost a detail, but she is what keeps the painting from being purely architectural. Yunquera is a calm piece, but not a passive one. The whites have weight. The shadows have temperature. For a room that needs stillness with something alive in it, this is the right work.
