LYUBOV MURAVYEVA

Lyubov Muravyeva is an internationally exhibited sculptor and painter from the former Soviet Union. Since receiving her MFA from the Stroganov Moscow School of Art and Design in 1967 and becoming a member of the USSR National Professional Artists’ Guild in 1983, she has worked on dozens of large-scale commissioned sculptures.

Muravyeva has completed pieces for, among others, the Kiev Public Center; the Pereyaslav Khmelnitsky City Museum; the Children’s Music School, Kiev, the Public Cultural Center, Kiev; and most particularly, for the Vinogradar Living Area project in Kiev. Her work has been exhibited in shows including “Biennale Internazionale Dell'Arte Contemporanea of Florence” in Florence, Italy, “Contemporary Ukrainian Art” in Smehyann, Sweden, “Ukrainian National Exhibition of Sculpture” in Kyiv, Ukraine, numerous solo exhibitions in St. Louis, Missouri, and other venues across Ukraine, Italy, Russia, Canada, and the United States.

Through exuberant images laden with metaphorical significance and fluid, monumental representations of the human form, Muravyeva brings attention to and seeks to cultivate compassion for the innermost feelings possessed by the human soul.
