Born in Kyiv, Ukraine

Resides and works in Knokke, Belgium

In Rina's vibrant world of contemporary abstract painting, she seeks to invite viewers into a world where colors dance and textures speak. Her work is an interplay between form and freedom, where strict structures collide with organic movements, creating a visual symphony of contrasts.

Rina explores the depth and dimensionality of color, characterizing each canvas with hues that evoke emotion and intrigue. Her compositions invite viewers to lose themselves in a journey of discovery, where every brushstroke tells a story.

Texture plays a crucial role in Rina's artistic vocabulary, as she experiments with a variety of materials and techniques that stimulate the senses. From grainy sand to shiny resin, each texture adds a layer of complexity to her work.

As she navigates the limitless possibilities of abstraction, Rina is constantly inspired by the world around her, the travels in over 60 countries as well as her life experiences over the years. With Rina's paintings she tries to capture the essence of these diverse influences and weave them together into a tapestry of visual delight. Ultimately, her art is a reflection of the human experience – a fusion of structure and spontaneity, chaos and harmony.
