Vision (2025) by Yelyzaveta Bokhanevych - subjektiv.art
1 / 5
Yelyzaveta Bokhanevych
Artist from Czech Republic
Today I continue my practice in Prague. But I was born in Kyiv into a creative family where artistic vision was our main way of communicating. This environment helped me see the world through color and form long before I first picked up a professional brush.
My growth as an artist is based in a strong academic tradition. My early training at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture (Kyiv) was crucial. It’s where I built the solid technical foundation that supports my work today. The encouragement I received from the Academy's masters gave me confidence and a discipline in drawing that I now incorporate into my free-form experiments.
Painting has always been a key part of my life, even while I worked in political PR. This experience with complex meanings, symbols, and strategies enriched my art. It taught me to find structure in chaos and to include deep subtexts in my visuals.
I never stop evolving. I constantly improve my skills by learning from top contemporary artists and looking for new ways to work.
For me, art is a journey where academic knowledge meets modern myths and my personal search for the perfect form.

This diptych-style composition is a powerful visual metaphor for the multiplicity of realities and the subjectivity of our perception.
The depiction of the dark poodle with deep amber eyes embodies the perspective of a "non-human" experience. The animal looks directly at the viewer, yet its gaze is entirely different - it is quiet, calm, and free from human emotions and biases. Its world is one of scents, sounds, and vibrations that lie beyond our understanding.
The girls face symbolizes the human experience. This is a world of emotion, self-expression, the search for identity, and active engagement with one's surroundings. The vibrant colors and emphasized details highlight the intensity of human perception, while simultaneously hinting at its limitations - as it is so often focused inward, on the self and one's own ego.
This painting serves as a powerful reminder that the world is far richer and more diverse than we can ever imagine. It calls for empathy, understanding, and respect for the other realities that coexist right beside ours.
