A series grouped under the name "Fragment światła" best demonstrates the independence of artistic vision. Biletnikova has a natural grasp of color and a flawless sense of color balance. These works are a celebration of vision -- vision celebrating itself. Naturally, this occurs within the medium of light. Radiant luminosity leaps out of every work. This series represents in its own way the logical outcome of freeing artistic vision from the constraints of discourse. There is a suggestion of Paul Klee in these pieces, but in a bizarre way: Klee seems as if a finite stepping-stone, an algebraic unit on the way to the perfect freedom depicted in Biletnikova's luminous otherworldly realm. It is no coincidence that many of these pieces seem to display winged or angelic creatures as if in another world, beyond black and white, what naturally takes place is an ascendancy of infinite freedom. Since that freedom begins and ends in vision, it manifests in the form of light. These heavenly figures, and some of them in the related religious series called "sacrum" is swathed in light. Light permeates these visions, seeming to emanate from behind the figures and always at the verge of overwhelming the image. What might this mean? It is unique that so many of these images might seem almost overwhelmed, almost too bright for the viewer to be able to see the figures/objects depicted. Such a phenomenon takes place on the side of the viewer, not on the side of the figures. If a viewer cannot see the objects within a painting, the net effect is that it is the viewer who is blinded by the light. The objects or figures are not blinded. Phenomenologically, the whole effect takes place within the viewer, belongs to the subjective experience of the viewer. This subverts the artistic primacy of the artistic subject depicted within a painting as being absolutely determinant of the (final) reality of the content (by being depicted). In Biletnikova's works here, the breathtaking luminosity of these images means that the artistic event self-consciously takes place within the viewer (who is blinded). Not on the side of the object. This represents the triumph of subjective artistic vision -- and freedom.

Visual artist. Born in 1981 in Odessa. She lives and works in Cracow. From 2000-2004 she studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow (diploma in Prof. Stanisław Rodziński’s studio), in the years 2002-2008 she studied interior design at that Academy of Fine Arts (vote of approval in the studio of Prof. Andrzej Głowacki). Co-founder of the „Seven” artistic group, within which two international projects were realized: Confrontationen/Confrontations, (Berlin, Cracow) in 2006 and Far - Near (Cracow, Kiev) in 2009. She opened a doctoral dissertation in the field of fine arts, in the artistic discipline of fine arts at the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in 2019. Author of painting series: „Sonder” (since 2018); „America new experience” (from 2017); „Deja vu” (from 2014); „The Shy” (from 2013); „Deja vu” (from 2014); „Fragment of light” (since 2010); „Face to Face” (since 2003) in 2006 and Far - Near (Cracow, Kiev) in 2009. She developed a project of polychromy for the chancel in the Saint Archangel’s Church in Bielce, I draw inspiration for my visual worlds from various sources. Many motives come from experiences, emotional delights and euphoria. I like to paint people in dialogue with myself the most. I am inspired by my feelings expressed by facial expressions or body gestures. I wish to capture emotional of a person, their moods, reactions to the world and to the other person. I use a wide range of situations and emotional states from joy to sadness, from disappointment to delight. I am also interested in painting a figure in relation to space and landscape. In my painting compositions I formally refer to colour field painting, art informel abstract expressionism and metaphorical art of figuration. I often concentrate on surreal imaginary situations. For this purpose I use the traditional oil technique on the linen canvas substrate. In the last period of my work I have tried to combine various types of measures characteristic of many fields of art: painting, drawing, mural, collage, artistic fabric, handmade paper, making interior design and I will continue to search for the right form for creative solutions. The need to identify myself, experiment, discover „my own self”, encourages me to abandon what was an affirmation of the external world to distinguish what we call the internal world, the emotional one. I allow abstraction to permeate with restrained expression of the real world.
