About

Maria Prymachenko grew up in Polissya, a picturesque region near Kyiv. With no formal artistic training, she took inspiration from nature. Regardless of floods or droughts, she continued to work amidst adversity, and was fortified by an inner light.

Maria Prymachenko spent almost her entire life in her native village, rarely venturing far away. But in her imagination, she created a universe that audiences can continue to explore and delight in today. Since the destruction by Russian forces of a local museum housing Prymachenko’s works, it has only been possible to see the artist’s paintings through exhibitions such as this.

During times of war, Prymachenko’s art became a source of strength for Ukrainians. It reminds them of their own power, their incredible past, and what the future could hold.

ABOUT THE PRYMACHENKO FAMILY FOUNDATION

The Prymachenko Family Foundation was established by the artist’s family and friends. It is focused on sharing the artwork, and the spirit, of Maria Prymachenko across the world. The Foundation conducts research into Maria Prymachenko and works to preserve her artwork, as well as providing copyright protection for the artist. The Foundation is currently working to create a catalogue raissoné. Currently, the main goal of the Foundation is to open the Maria Prymachenko Museum Complex in the artist’s native village in Bolotnya, Kyiv region. The complex will contain a museum, as well as providing a space for inspiration and creation for contemporary artists.

Natalia Gnatiuk, partner of the Prymachenko Family Foundation and co-curator: “We are working hard to create a museum complex on the premises of the house where Maria Prymachenko lived. It will include a museum section where her artworks and personal belongings will be exhibited, as well as a residency for contemporary artists. They will have the opportunity to stay there for a certain period, drawing inspiration from this atmosphere and embodying their own creative ideas. It will be a place of strength, capable of welcoming guests from around the world after Ukraine’s victory.”
