“I unbelievably love colour. I like researching it endlessly, listening to it, colliding with it, and every time I feel surprised at how little we know about it. It's an infinity...”

Toma Stenko’s powerful, often large-scale paintings balance movement and stillness, colour and form. Her work is a vibrant and deep exploration of love's spectrum in a quest to see the visible in the invisible, the infinite in the finite. Working in mixed media she creates images that are alive, expressing the essence of a feeling, the fluctuation of emotion.

Love is at the core of Toma Stenko’s work. Romantic, parental, self, broken and new – love is a rich palette of emotions that we all share. Stenko delves into its complex aspects through a kaleidoscope of colour.

Born in Georgia in 1980, Stenko is an award-winning artist, film director, and fashion designer who is a graduate of the Central Saint Martins University of Art and Design, London. Her work was most recently exhibited at the Venice Biennale 2022 and commissioned for the Katara International Arabian Horse Festival 2023.
