The artist draws her inspiration from a childhood spent extensively traveling with her parents, who worked in aviation; her early paintings bring to life a sweeping panorama of cloud formations and ocean waves seen from thousands of feet up. Ms. Malinine’s art illuminates the fluid shapes, colors, and textures of the horizon and the blending of sky and sea. Her hobby as a skydiver inspires her current work, providing her with the knowledge to convey the dynamic and exhilarating feeling of free falling and the connection between air, land, and sea.
