About Maryna Riepnova & Repka Arts ·

Meet Maryna Riepnova

Founder & Artist of Repka Arts

Hello and welcome 👋🏻.

I'm Maryna, a Ukrainian artist who fell in love with the light and colour of Andalusia. I founded Repka Arts to share that passion with you. Through my original paintings, handmade ceramics, and creative workshops, I aim to bring more beauty and connection into the world.

This is my artistic journey, and I'm so glad to share it with you.

My artistic journey

My journey as an artist began at the age of five, leading me to study environmental decoration and eventually earn a Master's degree in Fine Arts. My education in Ukraine gave me a deep appreciation for form and texture, especially in ceramics. Here in Spain, my focus has evolved to capture the incredible light and colour of the coast through watercolour and oil painting. This fusion of Ukrainian warmth and Spanish light is the creative vision behind every piece I create.
