The photo shows a landscape composed of water and sky without a boundary between them. The image conveys a state of peace and serenity. It was taken in one of the foggy winter morning. All the surrounding objects seemed to have no limits and were floating in the air. Everything and everyone existed as a whole. I was the water, the sky the resting ship. The water, the sky the resting ship were me.

Art for Yana Gryniv is an opportunity to be heard and to encourage others to think. Her artistic path began with pottery and silk-screen printing, then she turned to stained-glass painting and later added painting, photography and installation art to her circle of activities. In 2022 in Vienna she founded a curatorial platform Art Contact Ukraine. The platform facilitates collaboration between artists, cultural/governmental/diplomatic institutions, and activists. The scope of activity is defined through conceptual art, burning issues and cultural heritage.
