Castle (2022) Disegno da Sofiia Kulichkova (Sonjakul)

Born in Rostov-on-Don in 1989, the artist's path took an unexpected turn in 2020. Though economics filled the years from 2008 to 2012, a yearning for artistic expression simmered beneath. Drawing and illustration became the first brushstrokes of this new journey.

Further exploration led to oil and acrylics, where diverse textures were mastered. But it was watercolour that truly captivated the artist's heart. Online courses fueled a passion, culminating in a 2023 exploration of the unpredictable beauty of watercolour improvisation.

Now residing in Frankfurt, Germany, the artist celebrates the "process" of watercolour. The wet-on-wet technique unlocks its magic, each wash revealing an unpredictable dance of colours, a collaboration between artist and water. This element of surprise, the relinquishing of control, fuels the artistic fire. As pigments flow, the watercolour completes the artist, forming a unique partnership.

It's the mesmerizing granulation, the subtle whispers of colour, and the ethereal airiness that make watercolour the artist's muse. Experimentation extends beyond brushes, embracing unconventional tools like bags, napkins, and sponges. Large canvases become a playground, offering freedom for expression.

Through their art, viewers are invited on a journey of self-discovery. Familiar objects are reframed, sparking a fresh perspective on everyday things. Apples, Italian streets, or abstract compositions – the subject matters less than the feeling evoked. Exploring colour combinations and their emotional impact fuels the artistic fire.

Instead of meticulous detail, the essence is captured, leaving room for the viewer's imagination to flourish. It's the world around them – the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity – that inspires the artist's brushstrokes.
