By the river in the fields (2023) Painting by Nadiia Antoniuk

Nadin Antoniuk is a contemporary Ukrainian artist based in Germany. Antoniuk portrays her perspective of the world with an exuberant, vivid, and joyful outlook. Her painting process is marked by a cheerful and pleasurable approach, infusing the canvas with her positive energy and an abundance of delight. Her artistic style and creations draw inspiration from the splendor found in every instant of nature, human connections, thoughts, music, and a profound sense of balance. Her artworks essentially translate emotions onto canvas, aiming to offer viewers the chance to discover their own narratives through a dialogue with her paintings. This engagement seeks to establish shared resonances, stories, recollections, and touches of sensuality. In a way, her paintings extend an invitation for this dialogue, and when that connection is forged, the fundamental purpose of her artistry is fulfilled—where the painting truly communicates with the observer.

Presently, Antoniuk employs acrylic paints as her medium of choice. Her artistic approach is distinctive, fusing the expressive techniques reminiscent of Jackson Pollock with the color sensibilities akin to Claude Monet. She adopts a method of applying multiple layers of paint, each subsequent one layered onto the canvas only after the prior layer has thoroughly dried. As a result, her paintings showcase a plethora of hues and interplays of colors. This technique imparts a rich texture to her works, endowing them with a vibrant palette and an inherent desire to explore every individual square centimeter of the canvas.
