WELCOME
Welcome to VA’s collection of art, antiques, adornments and more, spanning centuries, continents and artists from numerous traditions and beliefs. Vanishing Arts is excited to now feature the work of ground-breaking contemporary artists as part of its collection. Our latest Featured Artist is Lark Pilinsky, whose paintings of landscapes, sky and ocean views, and transcendent “portals” take the viewer on a sublime journey much needed in 2025.
Featured Artist: Lark Pilinsky

Lark grew up in the remote mountains of central Asia in Ukraine, spending most of her childhood surrounded by the wild outdoors. From an early age, this proximity instilled in her a profound and spiritual love of nature that emanates through much of her prolific work as an artist.
Influenced by the Sumi-e tradition of Japanese painting, Lark uses simple but elegant techniques to express the timeless beauty and complexity of the natural world. She begins most paintings in deep meditation to create from a state of what she calls “no mind.” She then paints spontaneously with an “active hand” in textured and exuberant strokes that energize and impart movement to her work.
This approach leads to surprising and at times profound results, as demonstrated in the 40-second Featured Artist Reel of Lark paintings on the right side of this page.
