Plum Line (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Iryna Kindrytska

What do you see in the lines? Take a second. I see a woman, but you might see something else.

I've always been amazed by how an artist can describe a whole form with one line. For me it works like music: you follow the line and feel the movement before you understand the shape. The female body is endlessly different, and a line captures that better than anything else.

I always have a pile of sketches. Then I rework them, trying to cut out everything that isn't needed. It's harder than it sounds, because I want to say everything and paint everything. In this piece it worked best of all

A plum oil pastel line holds the figure together. Thick, creamy white acrylic gives it weight and texture, while soft pink, butter yellow and a spot of turquoise sit loosely around it. I left the wood bare, because its warm tone is already part of the palette.

It's small, so it feels personal, like something you keep close. Where does your eye go first?
