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.

We spent the whole day wandering the city streets, admiring the architecture, feeling the rhythm of life pulsating between yellow taxis, old street lamps and cozy cafes. The cobblestones sparkle from the rain, the street lamps cast long shadows, and the warm light from the windows beckons with its cozy obscurity.
You walk slowly down the street, clutching a cup of hot coffee that smells of dark chocolate and a hint of cardamom. The warmth of the drink spreads through your body, as if fueling your fatigue, but you take your time.
The city sounds: the rustle of footsteps, distant laughter, the rustling of leaves and car signals. The light of headlights falls on the wet pavement with yellow glare. People pass by, in conversations, in thoughts, in their own worlds. You become part of this movement. Step by step, the city lets you into its space, and you breathe in its stories along with the air and the aroma of coffee.
One more sip and you're on your way. To where the unexpected awaits around the corner, a new house, a new shot, a new observation, new impressions. The journey continues.
