What Were You Doing Last May – Large Abstract Acrylic, Pastel & Oil Stick on Canvas.
What Were You Doing Last May (150×115 cm) is an expressive large-scale abstract painting that radiates energy, nostalgia, and the vibrancy of memory. Layers of acrylic, pastel, and oil stick create a richly textured surface where bursts of crimson, coral, pink, green, and turquoise flow into one another with lyrical movement.

Both contemplative and uplifting, the painting balances raw expression with harmony, making it a striking centerpiece for modern, eclectic, or minimalist interiors. Its expansive size and layered depth transform any room into a space alive with color, energy, and memory.

Presentation
Kateryna Malomuzh is a contemporary abstract artist whose work explores the emotional resonance of color, rhythm, and texture. Сurrently based in Venice, Italy, she draws inspiration from the natural world, everyday impressions, and the vibrant cultural atmosphere that surrounds her.
Before dedicating herself fully to painting, Kateryna spent over a decade developing her own children's knitwear brand, designing intricate jacquard patterns. This experience shaped her intuitive understanding of composition, balance, and visual storytelling — elements that now define her artistic language.
Her paintings are expressive, layered, and deeply personal. She works primarily with acrylics, oil pastels, and markers on canvas, creating dynamic works that invite viewers into an abstract emotional landscape. Each piece captures a spontaneous moment, guided by feeling rather than form.
Through her work, she aims to evoke connection, emotion, and a sense of wonder in those who engage with it.
