Svitlana Yusym

Svitlana Yusym (1941) was a Ukrainian modernist artist who worked in the field of abstract expressionism. Her creative practice encompassed painting, graphics, and collage. Her art bridges two eras—the late Soviet period and the decades of Independence—marked by radical transformations and new challenges. 

The painting "Abstraction" (2004) conveys energy and movement through the interaction of color fields, lines, and textures. The tension between organic and geometric forms adds dynamism and balance to the composition. Rich color contrasts and layering create an immersive experience in the realm of visual perception.

The early 2000s became a period of intensive experimentation for Yusym, as she explored abstraction, light, color, and new means of artistic expression. Her works from this time are characterized by multilayered meaning, a deep spatial dimension, and a harmonious combination of spontaneity and deliberate structure.
