Dasha Skorubska-Kandinsky  

Dasha Skorubska-Kandinsky was born in Kiev in 1985 in a family of artists.

She graduated from the Crimean Art School in Samokish and then from the Kyiv National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture.
Her father, Anton S. Kandinsky, was a well-known post-Soviet pop artist. He lived and worked in New York City, where he rose to fame after developing his signature art style known as "Gemism". He died in his studio in Manhattan in 2014.

Today, Dasha continues to enhance and enrich her father's style as well as her own artistic style, which she calls academicism. She believes that "a work of art must be syncretic" and, therefore, uses an academic manner as the foundation of her work. It is complete only when it contains both the myth (non-verbal philosophy) and the aesthetic. She combines mystical expressionism, naked sexuality and symbolic mythology.

In her work, she combines the “raw and warm flesh" of painting with the cold core of her gemstones to create a work of art that is complemented by both.

His works are part of private collections in Russia, Ukraine, USA, Germany, France, Monaco, China, Switzerland, Israel, as well as the collection of the Kolodzei Art Foundation. It is part of the collections of the Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine (Kiev) and of the Museum of Contemporary Russian Art (USA).
