Nina Murashkina, The Art of Magical Feminism and Female Power

Nina Murashkina is a contemporary Ukrainian artist who transforms the feminine into myth and symbol. Her work explores femininity from within, not only representing bodies but creating figures that are guardians of desire, strength, and mystery. In her paintings, ceramics, and installations, the sensual, the intimate, and the mythical intertwine; her characters appear as dual goddesses, both powerful and vulnerable, moving through a world where symbols come to life. Murashkina defines her approach as “magical feminism”, a way of seeing and recreating reality in which the feminine rises to a poetic and archetypal plane. Each piece emerges from personal experiences and emotions transformed into images that engage with the instinctive, the erotic, and the spiritual. Her series Still Waters Run Deep earned her the FAD Art Award 2023, solidifying her unique voice in the contemporary art scene.
