Liudmyla Semykina

Liudmyla Nikolaevna Semykina (Ukrainian: Людмила Миколаївна Семикіна) (23 August 1924 – 12 January 2021)[1] was an artist and painter from Odessa, Ukraine, and an Honored Artist of Ukraine (2009).[2] She was awarded the Taras Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine for a series of costumes for High Castle (1997)[3] and a winner of the Vasyl Stus Prize (2000).

Biography

Semykina graduated from Grekov Odessa Art School in 1943 and the Kiev State Art Institute in 1953. In 1958, she became a member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine. She is known for her artworks, including many paintings, landscapes, and still life portraits of Odessa. Semykina joined the Club of Creative Youth in Kyiv in 1963. The next year she created a stained-glass panel depicting an angry Taras Shevchenko holding a battered woman and a book. The battered woman in Semykina's work symbolized Ukraine.[4] The painting's inscription says "I shall glorify these small dumb slaves, I shall put the word on guard beside them."[5] She made the painting for Kyiv University, but it was destroyed. Shortly after, in 1968, Semykina was expelled from the Union of Artists of the Ukrainian SSR for one year due to her political activities, specifically her public petitions. She became a member again in 1988.[6][7][8][9][10] Between this time she designed traditional Ukrainian outfits. These outfits would be used in the Ukrainian film Zakhar Berkut.
