Unknown #5 (2025)Acrylic painting by Arinika Stratievsky

My practice lives within multi-layered 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 is the force that carries me through every chapter, shaping my vision, my sensitivity, and my becoming.

Inspired by Edvard Munch’s The Scream, this painting transforms the iconic cry into something intimate and burning. Here, the woman’s scream is an eruption of love—raw, consuming, and unstoppable—an emotional release charged with longing, devotion, and profound intensity.

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 frame, with white mat.

I believe that artists and art make our lives brighter.
Through creativity, we learn to listen to one another, find our way to peace,
and gently turn our planet into a home filled with beauty.
