ABOUT NATALIIA KRYKUN

Nataliia Krykun, born in 1988, is a Ukrainian ultra-contemporary multidisciplinary artist based in London and Linz.

Her works capture the serene yet powerful spirit of the sea through a distinctive fusion of abstract minimalism and impressionism. Krykun draws inspiration from the boundless horizons, shifting light, and meditative rhythms of the ocean.

Her signature blue–turquoise seascapes are an invitation into a world of quiet contemplation, where the horizon becomes a meeting point between reality and imagination. Working primarily in oil on canvas, she distills vast seascape impressions into pure forms, subtle textures, and layered tonal harmonies. Each painting is a study in stillness and movement — a balance between the expansive calm of minimalism and the emotive brushwork of impressionism.

Krykun’s approach is deeply intuitive, allowing color and light to guide her process. By reducing visual elements to their essential lines and hues, she evokes a timeless sense of space and depth. Her work often resonates with viewers as both a personal sanctuary and a universal seascape memory, transcending geography and speaking to the human longing for openness and freedom.   

​

Krykun has participated in numerous international exhibitions and art fairs worldwide. A highlight was the exhibition of her works at the VOLTA Basel and Art Basel Week in Miami, and she is a participant at the Pavilion of Ukraine at the 58th La Biennale di Venezia- “The Shadow of a Dream Cast Upon Giardini Della Biennale".

Her works have also been showcased at Art Fair Vilnius 2023 and in Austria's Krems Museum, within the historic Dominican Church.

She continues her education at the University of Arts Linz, Austria.
