The summer of 2022 was to be a special season of expression for abstractionist Khrystyna Kozyuk. She had been scheduled to do two separate museum exhibitions in her native Ukraine, one in the city of Lviv and one in the city of Chortkiv.
While a dark cloud has hung over Ukraine for months due to the conflict, and has postponed Khrystyna’s homecoming exhibitions, her creative spirit has continued to flourish in her adopted city of Sedona, Arizona.
Khrystyna has been an artist since childhood, and even though early attempts were made to channel her talents through musical expressions, the heart was urging her to paint. She studied in Ukraine, and after immigrating to the United States she furthered her art-based studies at Triton College in Chicago.
Her style is purely from within, drawing inspiration from experiences in life – experiences that migrate as liquid ink on canvas through personal filters of perception. Her commitment is to produce single originals, without giclee reproductions.
Khrystyna Kozyuk operates her own studio in Sedona, where she paints with a passion for constant renewal. She may be visited online at kozyukgallery.com and instagram.com/k.kozyuk
