Curator's Note on the Work of Krystyna Vinogorodska
A curatorial note on the work of Kristina Vinogorodskaya
The art of Kristina Vinogorskaja is a space where painting ceases to be a simple image and becomes an experience, an immersion into the subtle reality "in between." Each canvas is a threshold where the viewer encounters themselves, the inner rhythm of time, that which precedes words and form.
Her works continue the line of great masters, for whom paintings were not "things" but spaces for encounter. Wassily Kandinsky wrote, "The purpose of art is not to reproduce the visible, but to awaken the spiritual in man." In Vinogorodskaya's work, this idea is embodied in every gesture: form is not fixed but flowing, leaving room for the viewer's personal experience.
Following Kazimir Malevich's idea: "Art must free itself from the burden of objects," the artist creates canvases in which form shifts and eludes, opening up space for inner transformation. They offer no direct answers—they present questions that the viewer perceives through sensation, breathing, and a subtle perception of time.
This gentle philosophy is close to the mood of Mark Rothko's work, who said, "I am interested in expressing great emotions—the tragic, the ecstatic, the fateful." Vinogorodskaya expresses this through movement, pause, and the play of fate: not as drama, but as an opportunity to transcend pain, a subtle dialogue with oneself.
Paul Klee asserted, "Art makes the invisible visible." Vinogorodskaya follows this line: she doesn't paint objects, but rather opens portals to inner experience, to that which cannot be expressed otherwise. Her paintings are a laboratory of time, reminding us of the depth that remains within each person and of the ability to see the invisible, trust intuition, and experience moments anew.
In a modern world where speed and superficiality are becoming the norm, her works are a space where one can stop, feel the breath of time and return to oneself.

Curator's Note on the Work of Krystyna Vinogorodska
The art of Krystyna Vinogorodska is a space where painting ceases to be a mere depiction and becomes an experience—a plunge into the subtle reality “in-between.” Each canvas is a threshold where the viewer encounters themselves, the inner rhythm of time, and that which precedes word and form.
Her works continue the lineage of great masters for whom a painting was not an “object,” but a space of encounter. As Wassily Kandinsky wrote: “The aim of art is not to reproduce the visible, but to awaken the spiritual in man.” In Vinogorodska's practice, this idea is embodied in every gesture: the form does not fixate, it flows, leaving space for the viewer's personal experience.
Following Kazimir Malevich's idea that “Art must free itself from the burden of things,” the artist creates canvases where form shifts and eludes, opening space for inner transformation. Her works offer no direct answers—only questions, perceived through sensation, breathing, and the subtle perception of time.
This gentle philosophy resonates with the mood of Mark Rothko's work, who said: “I am interested in expressing the big emotions—tragic, ecstatic, and fateful.” Vinogorodska expresses this through movement, pause, and the play of destiny: not as drama, but as the possibility to replay pain, as a subtle dialogue with oneself.
Paul Klee stated: “Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.” Vinogorodska follows this principle: she does not paint objects, but opens portals to inner experience, to what cannot otherwise be expressed. Her paintings are a laboratory of time, reminding us of the depth that remains within each person, and of the ability to perceive the invisible, trust intuition, and live moments anew.
