Emma Andijewska is a Ukrainian poet, prose writer, and painter whose work is often associated with surrealism. She has produced many thousands of paintings over several decades, with her visual work noted for brightly coloured, phantasmagoric compositions inhabited by fantastical creatures and transformed everyday objects. This page lists a selection of Andijewska's paintings that have appeared in catalogues, auction records, and museum publications.
Andijewska has created many thousands of works; biographical and museum sources cite figures ranging from more than 9,000 to over 17,000 paintings. Some of her paintings are documented in independently published catalogues, often issued in small print runs at the artist's expense and without standard ISBN data. Her works are generally signed on the front with the initials E. A. and on the reverse with her name and the title of the painting in Ukrainian, and sometimes also in German, as reflected in several catalogue titles.
