Olena Yemelianova
Artist from Ukraine
Olena Yemelianova ukrainian artist whose practice includes watercolor, acrylic, collage and photography. In her artistic research, she explores how people come to understand themselves through the expression of emotions and feelings, living through significant or everyday events in their lives. Considering the environment as a trigger for the process of self-discovery, she draws attention to the connection between life, historical and emotional processes that inspire the urban theme, as the development of a symbiotic structure, time and easy living. She exhibited both at personal exhibitions in Kharkov (Ukraine) and at group exhibitions (such as: “Invisible Gardens”, National Museum of Taras Shevchenko, Kyiv;
“Ineradicable places of Ukraine”, Directorate of Exhibitions of the National Assembly of Artists of Ukraine, Central House of the Artist, Kyiv; “United by watercolor”, Odessa Museum of Western and Eastern Art, Odessa). She is most inspired by architecture and elements of the urban landscape.Оlena's paintings offer reflections on the fact that we build our lives as architects of our destiny, and that we are constantly transforming and expanding, just like the architectural forms that surround us.

Happy Magnolia
Painting by Olena Yemelianova
26.5 x 36.5 cm • Watercolor and paper
Location:
Kharkiv, Ukraine
Our city has a wonderful park with an avenue of magnolias. In the spring, when they bloomed, there were queues to take pictures. In general, this park is a favorite place of Kharkiv residents. We always bring guests from other cities there to show its beauty, walk the alleys, chat and have fun.
The painting "Happy Magnolia" is written on smooth watercolor paper. The flowers are covered with small splashes of gold paint. As a memory of those happy peaceful moments, when queues of vacationing townspeople gathered at these magnolias.
During the war, the park was shelled more than once and suffered significant damage. And the magnolias survived and already have buds on them. And even if there are far fewer people in the city now, we are sure that the magnolias will bloom and people will gather around them again.
