About The Artwork
In the center of drawing depicted Sarah Bernardt, famous actress and icon of Art Nouveau Era, who was a muse of many artist of these period. She is surrounded by her favorite flowers-magnolias and camelias, symbols of feminity, grace and youth. I used elements of Chocolate house because there is a city legend that she had attended this mansion and also her portrait-fresco was found on the ceiling of one of rooms after the restoration. Chocolate House was built in the style of the Venetian Renaissance by the order of Kiev merchant Semen Semenovich Mogilevtsev (1846-1917). The mansion was constructed by the famous architect Vladimir Nikolayev in 1890s. Chocolate House is one of the most mysterious mansions in Kiev. The building has been colored in the unusual way. The predominance of brown color gives the possibility to name the mansion as Chocolate House. Its story is similar to the story about the Gorodetsky’s House with Chimeras. The drawing made by ink on paper under plexiglass.

Ukraine
My name is Ksenia Bilan. I am a Graphic artist/illustrator from Kiev, Ukraine. In my online gallery I represent my artworks "Cognitio Rerum". I create my art under the influence of all that inspires me, I was interested throughout my adult life: the theme of life and death, symbolism and the symbol's impact on the man's destiny. They are imbued with magic, occult, paganism, nature, medieval symbolism. Each picture has a special meaning and all the elements of the drawings are chosen not by chance, but harmoniously intertwined. Since childhood I was impressed by style of the Northern Renaissance masters, Symbolic and Pre-Raphaelites, as well as medieval book illustrations. That's why my drawing style is rather close to the medieval engravings. Thanks to my art education, I was able to bring the allegorical meaning of things around me on paper. Music that I listen to, also plays an important role: punk, post-punk, neofolk, deathrock and literature: mythology, fantasy and English gothic novel.
