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.

When we look at something from the bottom up, it distorts the proportions, prevents us from seeing the whole picture and makes us feel small in front of something much bigger. This is how we see a tall building, standing next to it.
In the same way, in our minds, even a small task or problem seems huge when we look at it from the bottom up, and we feel small. This causes a feeling of helplessness and stops our forward movement.
However, if we take a step back and look at the problem from a distance, it may not be as big as we thought. Distorted perception creates obstacles.
So let's look up at the beautiful architecture around us and not fixate on the problems created by our imaginations.
I saw and photographed these wonderful houses in Gdansk (Poland). And when I was looking at the photo at home, the following thoughts came to me.
My work here is the only copy of my unique and original handiwork.
