Maryana Beletskaya

Ukraine born, New York based artist, Maryana Beletskaya’s artwork embodies the heart and soul of her subject matter as she captures a wealth of emotions in a single moment. Exploring such universal themes as love, ambition, determination, and self-discovery, her mysterious sitters’ craggy faces and wrinkled hands are a metaphor for individuals who have shared a long, challenging journey through life. Shining light on old, life-worn faces and weather-beaten hands, she imparts solemnity and dignity onto her subjects. Ms. Beletskaya is a contemporary master who reveals the beautiful in the unbeautiful, discovering the profound in the unprofound.
