Luhansk. City Centre – Original Oil Painting by Marina Stognieva

Story of the Painting

"Luhansk. City Centre" is an original oil painting by Ukrainian artist Marina Stognieva, created in 2024. The artwork depicts the winter city centre of Luhansk — a place deeply connected with the artist's childhood, memories and homeland in the Luhansk Region of Ukraine.

Snow-covered trees create an elegant white lace around the city architecture. Their branches gently frame the building while opening a path that leads the viewer into the heart of the composition. Although it portrays an urban landscape, the painting is filled with silence, soft winter light and a peaceful atmosphere rather than the bustle of city life.

Painted with expressive brushstrokes, the artwork combines delicate shades of white, blue, grey-green and soft pink to recreate the atmosphere of a quiet winter day. The dark tree trunks introduce a strong graphic rhythm, while subtle red architectural details add warmth to the restrained winter palette.

Rather than documenting the architecture with photographic precision, Marina Stognieva captures the emotional character of the place. The buildings gradually merge with the snowy trees and winter light, becoming part of a living memory instead of a simple city view.

For the artist, the Luhansk Region is much more than a geographical location—it is her homeland. Through paintings like this, she preserves the atmosphere of peaceful Ukrainian cities and shares their beauty with future generations and viewers around the world.

This original artwork is a meaningful addition to a collection of contemporary Ukrainian art. It will especially resonate with collectors interested in Ukraine, urban landscapes, architectural painting, cultural heritage and artworks that preserve the memory of meaningful places.
