P Tymchuk’s digital photographs are investigations into the human body transformed by light and shadow. Simplicity and raw human emotion are her inspirations, the need for human connection her pervasive subject. She says, "The most gratifying experience for me as an artist is when a viewer is first attracted to the image on an intuitive level." As a child, Tymchuk's mother encouraged her to paint large murals on the walls of her room, so that "I began, at an early age, to tell a story within one single frame." One takes in Tymchuk's work and searches for the visual center. At times, the images are not easily recognizable as parts of the body, and could be landscapes or fantasy constructions. More often than not, the picture's center is a place where skin meets shadow, or more specifically, where the light reflecting off skin meets its opposite, to conjure a mood of deep reflection. With her inspired investigations into the visual and physical, Tymchuk's work challenges the definitions of portrait, realism and images of the body itself. She is presently publishing a photo book entitled “Freedom Within the Skies.” She continues to travel, observing the play of light in the world, and searching as she says, "for magnificent exposures."
