Beautiful Marilyn (2024)Acrylic painting by Arinika Stratievsky

My practice exists within the framework of multi-layered painting, where light, breath, and space collide and dissolve into one another. Each work is created slowly, through repetition, overcoming difficulties, and dedication, as I strive for emotional intensity and a delicate balance in color and composition. Art is inseparable from my life – it accompanies me at every stage, shaping my vision, my sensitivity, and my development.

In this portrait, Marilyn Monroe appears as both light and shadow — a symbol of timeless beauty, fragile strength, and the quiet mystery that lives beyond the spotlight.

This textured abstract painting creates depth and quiet elegance. Each piece can exist independently or as part of a larger series, inviting viewers to contemplation, reflection, and emotional response.

I believe that art has the power to brighten our lives: to help us listen, to make connections, and to gently transform our world into a home filled with beauty.
