Nature is the greatest art.
Let its beauty reflect within you.
Natural Rhythms
Bring nature indoors and fill your spaces with an abundance of inspiration. Let your creativity thrive.
Darya, the Artist
Painting from life. Inventing new worlds. Sharing her love.
“If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper
My artistic journey started in Ukraine, when as a child I was taking art classes with my two best friends. When my family moved to Kansas City I studied art with Inga Vereschagina, who helped me develop a sense of color, composition and realism. In 2011 I moved to Charlottesville, VA and have continued to develop my art while studying at University of Virginia. For me art is a way to uplift the spirit and create a sense of harmony and peace. I particularly love creating commission art for spaces; this allows for me to think deeply about purpose, color and existing objects and create pieces which contribute to the architecture of the rooms.
Art is truly a method of self-discovery and I use both traditional and process-focused art to learn about my values, reactions, and worries. Creating collages of found objects, pysanka sets, sets of paintings on the same theme and costume pieces allows me to create a world in which I explore my relationship to the subject and form a conviction about who I am.
