Margaryta (Ryta) Miskevych’s paintings, born from her experiences in Crimea and Germany, invite a profound, dual engagement. Her use of gestural color draws the eye, while simultaneously presenting realities that are vaguely recognizable yet deeply familiar. Miskevych's work is not about depicting heroic narratives or present crises; rather, it’s a form of artistic labor, exploring the everyday and the ubiquitous. She meticulously collects and translates observations from street scenes, mass media, the internet, and museums into her art, celebrating the accessible and the commonplace. These motifs, while familiar, are imbued with a sense of the strange, allowing Miskevych to delve into their underlying depth of experience and inviting viewers to reconsider their encounters with the world.
