Nina Murashkina's paintings are fun and there is some vague luridness about some of them (except the cat one below....well, actually even the cat one). But there is humor and strength in the work beyond this. Lurid might not be the right word but it is as close as I can get after two successive days of looking at art. I was going to go to the thesaurus to find a better word but then thought maybe I'd just send you to the artist's webpage or the Lyskenko Gallery website.
Murashkina was born in Donetsk, Ukraine and studied at Donetsk Art College (graphic design). She also studied monumental painting at Kharkiv Art and Design Academy. Unsurprisingly she also studied film and stage design. Her work is theatrical.
