Artist Statment
I am Ulyana Rozina, a contemporary artist. My ancestors (blacksmiths, weavers, spinners) seemed to have passed on to me the skills of the craft, which I turn into art. It's like the evolution of memory, the interpenetration of the past and the present.
Creating pictures for me, how to feel life through actions. I am a very tactile person, so in my work I mix techniques and materials.
My works are about new aestheticism and new materiality. I refer to the material itself through tactility, to the problems of creative transformation of material through aesthetics. This is about comprehending beauty and comprehending beauty.
I am interested in the material in the process of transformation - it is a material that can be transformed. His choice is also not accidental: threads are my past, something that I inherited from my ancestors;
pastes and paints are an understandable movable material that belongs to "art".
I use their symbiosis and rift to find new meanings. This is the foundation for rethinking the Ural identity of women's craft as an art.
My paintings connect our origins with a new reality. They have no obligation. They give ground for thought, make you turn to feelings, get distracted from the routine.
