"Strange beasts of Maria Prymachenko" is a tribute to the famous Ukrainian artist Maria Prymachenko, who is known for her unique and bright art. Her style is based on native Ukrainian folklore, which is often called naive art, but full of meaning and feelings. Prymachenko's art is known far beyond the borders of Ukraine. "Strange animals" - we will draw on the glass with acrylic paint and permanent markers. We will use bright colored paper for the background. The bright background will contrast with the whimsical figures that look at us with surprise, amazement and curiosity. "Strange beasts" - an ideal decoration of any interior; it brings joy, fun and positivity.
Zoriana was born in Lviv (Ukraine) in 1968. Art critic, artist of decorative and applied arts, graphic artist, teacher of Lviv Professional College of Decorative and Applied Arts. I. Trusha in the departments of restoration, painting and professional disciplines.
Her works are stored in private collections in Ukraine, Germany, Poland, USA and other.
By balancing on the border of graphics and works of decorative and applied art, she creates unique products that resonate with folk art.
As a graphic artist, Zoriana likes experiments: she combines ordinary graphics with various materials in her works, creating her own author's technique. This can be an ordinary cord of various kinds, which paints itself in the desired color; hot glue, fabrics, pieces of lace, wood and more. It also combines different styles - from naturalism to decorativism in one work and it acquires an interesting, somewhat unusual sound. Zoriana uses a bright color scheme. Motifs of trees, bushes, flowers predominate - what the artist sees around her, rethinking in her own way.
