Yana is a renowned Ukrainian contemporary artist whose paintings are an allegory to how human emotions and character are intertwined with the animal world. Every figure in her compositions consists of triangles and each has a special meaning. The valuesof the triangle are multifaceted involving expressions of creativity, harmony, integration, subjectivity, manifestation, lightening, ascension and more. This universalism captures the themes of magic, occultism, and creativity and unites them in the triangle symbol which is inseparable from the number three representing symmetry, wisdom and understanding.
Each of Yana’s paintings include the colours of two precious metals: gold and silver. Silver symbolizes the colour of the moon and reflects values of innocence, purity, and mercy. Whereas gold represents the splendor and radiance of the sun, and a highly valuable and distinctive quality that does not deteriorate. By fusing figurative and abstract elements Yana’s artwork utilizes the best traditions of contemporary art and attempts to create a ‘dialogue with the universe’. Consequently, the artwork involves visual elements of music, light, nature and the galaxy revealing glimpses of the life-affirming emotion of golden energy. Moreover, each of Yana’s artworks also contain a gold nugget.
