Join me in a conversation and exploration of the Surrealist contemporary painter of Ukraine, Rita Maikova. Her fantastical paintings express the interior of her mind and spirit, "all the parts of me," says Maikova. Infused with feminine and maternal energy, Maikova's works and practice are informed by the Surrealist aesthetic, Ukrainian folklore embedded with personal iconography and symbols.
.
Currently, Maikova is exhibited at the Sapar Contemporary Art Gallery in "Women and Other Wild Creatures: Matrilineal Tales" until August 26, 2022. https://www.saparcontemporary.com/
