Biography

Mariia Karpiuk was born on 14 June 1900 in the town of Sniatyn.[1]

In 1928, she graduated from the Oleksa Novakivskyi Art School in Lviv. In the same year, she participated in the exhibition of the mentioned educational institution in Lviv.[1][2][3]

In 1929, she took an internship at the Louvre (Paris), which was funded by Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytskyi (for him, Karpiuk made a copy of the painting "Portrait of a Man", which belongs to the 15th-century Florentine School).[1][2][3]

Karpiuk painted realistic portraits, landscapes, and still lifes in which impressionism and post-impressionism can be traced. Some of her works are kept in the collections of the Lviv Art Gallery and the Marko Cheremshyna Literary and Memorial Museum in Sniatyn.[1][2]

Among the main works: graphics – "O. Sorokhtei" (1928); paintings – "Landscape of Stanyslaviv" (1930s), "Grandmother", "Moonlight Night" (both 1930), "Daughter" (1950s), "Grandson Andrii" (1960s).[1]

She died on 3 June 1978 in Kyiv.[1] She was buried at the Lisovyi Cemetery.[4]
