Auburn: Community & Event Center Gallery Maryna Kantsyr Contact: Allison Hyde, Arts Coordinator 253-931-3043 ahyde@auburnwa.gov<mailto:ahyde@auburnwa.gov> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 29, 2023 ___________ The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Maryna Kantsyr at the Community Center Gallery, on view August 29 - November 1, 2023. [Background pattern Description automatically generated]"Ideas for my paintings usually came from interactions with the outside world, that become an idea of some kind of logic or just emotions that transform to colorful lines and objects" says our chosen artist Maryna Kantsyr, who finds it natural to transfer her thoughts and emotions into blocks of shape and color. "Sometimes I just start with a line and an idea comes after, sometimes I start with one idea and find out that it's transformed to a different idea. A mix of feelings finds harmony on canvas. So I do not have a recipe for how I create art - I just do. And everything - my feelings, thoughts, interaction with people end up on my canvases. But they are mine and I can transform all this into an art - and you can see your story, your feelings or thoughts in my art. Or there are titles and descriptions that can help you to understand it." Sixteen Years Later, Maryna Kantsyr Community Center Gallery 910 Ninth Street SE, Auburn, WA 98002 ____________________________________________________________________________ This art installation is coordinated through the City of Auburn, Parks, Arts & Recreation Department and with the support of the Auburn Arts Commission.
