Biography
Dasha Rybina is a Ukrainian artist, born in 1983. She graduated from Donetsk Art School with distinction (2004) and then studied at National academy of Fine Arts and Architecture, receiving a silver medal for her piece "Ordeals of Theophanes the Greek" (Kiev, 2010). Having painted since she was young, the artist has developed over the years her sublime and intimate pictorial language as well as a remarkable mastery of the composition.

Art
Dasha Rybina develops her art practice in both drawing and painting, focusing on the representation of nature and urban landscapes.

Graphic works are made by ink on paper using the author's technique based on “washing out” the image. An image filled with light is born from the synthesis of a drawing, created according to the artist's intention, its careful elaboration, and the use of the directed "destructive" force of the water flow.

The “black squares” hiding the structure and image of the future work are washed off by pressurized water, “liberating” the image, and it takes the form of a trace, an imprint, and evokes an association with an old photo, with something one has already experienced, with a memory.

The creative process is at the same time a work over an image and an art performance. The image that appears as the result of the creation embodies the author's intention and influence of elemental forces.

Industrial aesthetics, images of mechanisms and architectural structures in the works of Dasha Rybina continue the theme of natural structures and systems, forming two poles of one whole and balance the interaction of these poles. This unity is one of the main themes of the artist's reflections.
