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.

This house is located in the historical center of Kharkiv. Its windows, broken during the explosions, are covered with sheets of plywood. We don't know what tragedy of human life is covered by that plywood...
But in this chaos of destruction, life explodes. Plants heroically settled in the cracked windows and cracks formed by time and shelling. They become symbols of natural reincarnation and interaction with the environment. Each plant, despite its diversity, expresses strength and endurance.
As a symbol that even in the darkest corners of history, when people can lose everything, life finds its way. They give us hope and determination to push through adversity, reminding us that beauty can bloom even in the midst of ruins. Reminding that life goes on.
My work here is the only copy of my unique and original handiwork.
