Artwork Description
Viktor Maryniuk (1939) — is a Ukrainian graphic artist and painter, a prominent representative of the Odesa underground art scene. He is known for his graphic works and experiments with form. His style is distinguished by delicate lines, attention to detail, and deep symbolism, combining traditional motifs with a modern interpretation of imagery.
The painting «Portrait» conveys a sense of contemplation, introspection, or even tension characteristic of the early 1990s — a period of great change and uncertainty.
This work possesses a unique atmosphere, combining graphic precision with painterly freedom, opening space for interpretation. It showcases a subtle understanding of psychology and the artist’s mastery.
