“BETWEEN FEAR AND BECOMING THERE IS A MOMENT OF CHOICE” Tatsiana Yelistratava is a contemporary figurative artist whose work explores the emotional and psychological landscapes of inner life. Through expressive gesture, layered symbolism, and a distinctive use of color, she creates portraits that reflect the complex dialogue between vulnerability and strength, presence and transformation, body and identity. Working across multiple interconnected series, Yelistratava approaches the human figure as both subject and field — a space where memory, instinct, resilience, and desire converge. Her practice is rooted in intuitive process, allowing movement, texture, and symbolic form to emerge as carriers of emotional truth. Her work invites the viewer into a quiet yet powerful experience of self-recognition, where healing, becoming, and inner freedom unfold without spectacle, but with depth and clarity.
