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.

Installation of silence
Painting by Olena Yemelianova
36 x 54.5 cm • Embroidery, Watercolor and paper
Location:
Kharkiv, Ukraine
It is not just a body. And not just architecture.
It is a map of the inner landscape. It is what we unconsciously build inside: from pain, intimacy, vulnerability, caring thoughts, dreams, warm memories, from everything that does not fit into logic, but lives within us, densely and deeply.
Embroidered magnolias are a quiet poetry of endurance. Their blossom is a promise of a soft power that does not need loudness to be real. They are not conspicuous - they remain.
Like those memories that do not fade, but turn into soil. Their embroidery is thin, like a feeling of happiness that comes in an unexpected moment. They are about tenderness that does not need loud words, because it simply is. And that is enough. The body here is like a womb of memory, like a place where stories germinate. And the building is like a symbol of the inner core that we shape every day. It may be wounded, but not destroyed. It is alive. This work is about inner silence, which does not frighten, but calms. About the space inside, where we feel ourselves - real. Where there is a place for both beauty and light. Where everything grows.
About the inner space in which you can stay - and finally be yourself.
My work here is the only copy of my unique and original handiwork.
