Striped reality, White flamingo (2024)Acrylic painting by Arinika Stratievsky

My practice exists within multilayered painting, where light, breath, and space collide and dissolve into one another. Each work grows slowly, through repetition, resistance, and devotion, as I push color and composition toward emotional intensity and fragile equilibrium. Art is not separate from my life—it carries me through every chapter, shaping my vision, my sensitivity, and my becoming.

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. Ready to hang, without frame. I was inspired by hand-made paper; I saw the process when I was in Thailand. It's a stunningly textured paper that's pressed, sun-dried, and absorbs the beauty of the surrounding nature. It's very heavy, made from special plants, and the process takes a long time. It's mounted on wood panel.

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