Nina Murashkina is a Ukrainian multidisciplinary artist, born in 1985 in Donetsk, currently lives and works in Spain. Nina Murashkina received professional art education in Ukraine and abroad. From 2000 to 2005, she studied at the Donetsk Art College, specializing in graphic design. She continued her education at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, where from 2005 to 2009 she mastered monumental painting. In 2011, she obtained a specialization in scenography and cinema at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kyiv. The following year, she refined her skills at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, choosing the direction of painting.

Using canvas, gilding, and acrylic, she creates visual narratives in which the key themes are the psychology of sexuality, intimate drama, and the search for identity. Her distinctive aesthetic has been influenced by Ukrainian naive art, the imagery of Indian and Japanese cultures, as well as ancient mythology. The artist describes her works as “delicious details from the subconscious and the extreme boundaries permitted in social relations.”
