NADA Miami 2021

Maria Sulymenko’s paintings are noted for both simplicity and laconicism, while also fascinating the viewers. Any movement appears to be frozen on the canvas. Although the characters’ figures look slightly shy, this delicacy only reveals the author’s monolithic personality. The artist apparently picks all the details in a fine and precise way, however the viewer will have the impression of improvisation and spontaneity. The works’ characters are beyond any specific epoch, they are placed in the environment, which is only nominally and sometimes naively defined, with the images referring to the sphere of subconsciousness rather than to obvious things.
