ONE refers to everything. -Yuschuk, 2015
Anna Yuschuk's new body of work speaks to t
he inseparable wholeness of existence and unity of all elements. Through dual subject matter --
water and trees, Yuschuk explores the balance of the natural world, our place in it and its reflection in our inner selves.
Aware and commanding of her role as a contemporary painter, Yuschuk puts all that she is into her paintings. Her surfaces glow from an inner light, her subject matter engages the mind and her philosophy unifies.
In this show I have explored water as surface and a medium that connects everything and everyone together. I am interested in the always changing but existentially same quality of water - its mirroring effects and its responsiveness to other elements. Reflecting everything above the surface and hiding all that is beneath, it separates the visible and the invisible with the thin line of the horizon.

Through mirrored images of trees rooted into the ground and human figures reflected across the water's surface, Yuschuk nods not only at the oneness of it all, but also at growth, maturity, self awareness and the cycle of life.
