The Girl and the Unicorn

Nina Murashkina, Ukraine

Nina Murashkina makes sensual and metaphorical art which is built on her own sexuality and empirical knowledge of herself. The artist crystallizes her own intimate experiences and reproduces her own vision of a woman through the vivid feminine images. The women with ambiguous and discredited positioning today are the Goddess: strong and weak at the same time with their snakelike plasticity and delicate sense, rational aspiration and irrational doubt that is able to capture but is more often to be captured. She lives with the infinite thirst for the harmony of all her entities.
