Each city is unique in its energy. To feel, find and show it in the watercolor technique is a very interesting task. I created the series of works "City of Kharkiv" initially out of selfish intentions and did not want to show it to the world. This city is methodically destroyed, so my works about it are like a photo album of my state. What[...]

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Hello art connoisseur. I am Olena, a self-taught artist. I have the qualification of Master of Pharmacy. I have been fond of creativity since childhood, that is why I gathered the courage to follow my dream and resigned from the position of manager of a pharmacy. She devoted herself only to art, not as a hobby, but as a life's work.

The beginning of the professional path coincided with the beginning of a full-scale war in Ukraine. It shocked me, but I did not give up on the challenge, because my art has a mission. It is about the fact that I seek to develop a collective consciousness through visual images in paintings. Imagine how the world will change when every inhabitant of the planet lives consciously. There will be no wars, violence, slaves to one's fears and destructive behavior. With the help of my paintings and exhibitions, I study a person through the prism of rationalism and spirituality. Conditions of personality formation, archetypal manifestations, values and other topics subject to psychoanalysis. In the process of developing ideas, I use knowledge from coaching, psychology and Vedic astrology. The approach is to reflexively dive into the transformation. I look for ways to succinctly express the complex dialogues of the subconscious in order to realize my mission.

I use watercolor, a material that is able to create subtle transitions that resemble the border between reality and cognitive perception. The paintings change from preserving precious moments of conscious presence, which I record in the stories of urban landscapes, nature, to a deep immersion in the processes of the psyche. I'm talking about paintings as sources of energy. Subtle matter that is perceived at the level of sensations.

Since 2022, I have been an active participant in more than 20 exhibitions of various formats, an international open-air exhibition in Gdańsk, Poland, one of the winners of the AMERICAN ART AWARDS 2022, the organizer, curator and participant of the first all-Ukrainian exhibition of watercolors in the city of Ternopil in the Ternopil Regional Art Museum, which highlighted the socio-cultural problem: personal boundaries and the development of recognition of watercolor art in Ukraine.

The paintings are in the open collection: NFT-art, Meta Museum of War, Kyiv, Ukraine Closed collection: Ternopil Regional Art Museum, Ternopil, Ukraine Private collections of Canada, Ukraine, Poland, USA, Spain.

I am a Ukrainian artist currently living in Spain.

Thank you for visiting my store. Choose the paintings that I created for my home to emphasize your individuality, the value of self-knowledge and aesthetically fill the space.

Sincerely, your artist Olena Koliesnik.
