Internal inspiration (2018) Painting by Nina Buryak

Nina Buryak is a contemporary artist born in Ukraine and currently living and working in Austria. Her artistic process involves every component of her paintings, each contributing to the creation of a polyphonic canvas filled with echoes of her experiences and imagery.

Graduating from the Lviv Institute of Applied and Decorative Art in 1980 with a specialization in Fashion Design, Buryak began her career at the Lviv Fashion House, where she focused on creating and developing women's outdoor clothing. Alongside her work in fashion, she explored easel graphics and painting, participating in exhibitions across Lviv, Kiev, Vienna, Dortmund, Angers, Siegen, Salzburg, Brussels, and other cities in Western Europe.

In 1990, Buryak became a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, further solidifying her presence in the art world. Her work from the 1990s to the 2000s reflects various artistic movements, with stylistic priorities determined by cycles of paintings and prints. Combining folklore and modern traditions with abstract compositional elements, her art has garnered widespread acclaim.

Buryak views her work as a coherent energy stream, where each painting embodies a mood, action, or semantic design subtly conveyed through color and texture. Her works are featured in museums across Ukraine and in private collections worldwide, including in Canada, the USA, Austria, Belgium, and beyond.
