Antonina Vasyuk/ Summer Issue

Antonina Vasyuk is a Ukrainian artist. She graduated from the college in Dnipro with a degree in the specialty of an artist-decorator. She mastered airbrushing in a private school in Kharkiv. She worked in an online gallery creating friendly caricatures and portraits. She works with design studios making wall paintings, decorative panels, bas-reliefs and pictures.

She is inspired by creating vintage textures which she naturally integrates into her original works. She likes to work with large-scale formats, experiment with volume, relief and chiaroscuro and using additional lighting.

At the moment she is working at a series of pictures devoted to the research of a human personality, its internal contrasts and transformations. The themes of self-discovery, spirituality and self-acceptance are reflected in her work. Tragic events of Ukraine’s war resonate in her works talking about zeroing a human personality, erasing the identity and the reason for existence. In her pictures one can see willpower and aspiration to play a life.
