Sophia Homeniuk was born in the village of Vitivka in the Cherkassy region,
which is renowned for its marvelous wood carvers and painters. Her artistic mentor
was her older sister Irena.
Ms. Homeniuk paints in a particular manner unique just to her. She
uses unique brushes made of forest grass with short handles. Today, only Sophia
Homeniuk has mastered this ancient manner of painting. The artist called one of her
paintings "Dancing Flowers" the name being appropriate for many of the artist's
works.
Fold painting is characteristic of the artist's work. One can ascribe the cycle
"Customs and Rites of My Village" and "Shevchenkiana" to this series. The paintings
are inspired by folk songs. A Lubok painting, the primitivism of the theme is
raised to poetic ascension by the artist's original talent. Homeniuk's paintings
journey through worlds.
She has participated in many international art exhibitions.
