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.

Painting by Olena Yemelianova
54 x 74 cm • Watercolor on paper
Location:
Kharkiv, Ukraine
This picture is about the search for harmony in the conditions of the gap between the worlds, inside and outside of us. Two bodies, male and female, are drawn separately, but sewn together with red threads, as if by the effort of will and self-love.
They meet shoulders, creating a single shape, as if reminding us that we are all made up of different parts that strive for wholeness. On the back of each is a house with a window. It is a symbol of the fact that our home is always within us - a place where strength and tenderness, rationality and sensuality, masculine and feminine coexist.
The left part, female, is enveloped in the soft light of the moon - a symbol of depth, intuition, sensuality. This is the side that preserves memories, plunges into reflection, accepts and heals. Her hand embraces, giving warmth and support. The right part, male, is filled with the movement of birds - a symbol of freedom, strength of spirit, striving forward. It is dynamic, open to change, but also needs balance.
The picture embodies the dichotomy of life and death, internal and external, material and spiritual, male and female. These opposites are not a conflict, but rather a complementarity that forms the harmony of the soul. Dichotomy becomes the basis for understanding ourselves and the world, because only by accepting our multifacetedness, we are able to integrate internal contradictions and achieve wholeness. By uniting ourselves, we become able to create harmony around us - between people, nature and the future.
