Nina Reznichenko was born in 1973 in Bukovyna, Ukraine. She graduated from the Vyzhnytsia College of Arts. Nina resides in Lviv, Ukraine. She is married with a child.

Nina took part in over 30 exhibitions and galleries in Ukraine, Russia, USA, and Europe. She is a member of the Ukrainian National Society of Artists, member of international association of Artists “Art without Borders”. Her brush is brave and often touched with abstract style, with difference between light and shadow in her paintings, the texture of the color’s strokes.

“What would our humankind have been without flowers? If flowers had not existed… Would our character, our moral, our ability for the beauty and happiness be the same?… Just imagine for a second that our planet does not know flowers… The entire world of elaborate sensitivity would have slept forever at the bottom of our hearts… An endless universe of colors and shades would have revealed its beauty only in part… Miraculous harmony of light would have remained unknown to us… When we are in love, memories about the flowers, that we have once seen and inhaled, flow back to us and feel up our consciousness and sensitivity with familiar pleasures… Happiness without flowers would have been shapeless, like a horizon of the sea or the sky…” Maurice Maeterlinck, art critic and curator.

When you look at subtle reveries of the images created by Nina Reznichenko, you anticipate the happiness that fills up the world around you and becomes apparent in every moment, if we allow ourselves to be happy. “Sounds” of Nina’s painting take us back to those illuminated moments, when we admired tiny and tender petals before we put a flower into a vase and enjoyed the moment of looking at this creation, or when we gave flowers to our beloved to make them smile…

Nina has been drawing flowers her whole life. It takes her quite a long time to settle her mind and to get concentrated, but she works extremely fast, as if all in one breath. She never paints from life, but during the breaks between drawing sessions she exploits all available aesthetics of the world, like nature, literature, arts, music, to get saturated with positive feelings and impressions. The moment when she takes a brush in her hand is not a prologue, but a culmination; it is the moment when emotions get materialized.

Her drawing is an impulse, when with a help of clearly sensed colors of a blurred background, a few texture spots, and effective contrasting accents the artist creates a mood, which can be melancholic, loudly joyful, mysteriously half-worded, or overtly sensitive. And it does not matter, whether it appears in the image of a woman or a flower, as they mean the same for thousands of years. These are women and flowers, entrusted by nature to become symbols of the beauty of earthly life.
