Untitled Painting

When you see Katsyaryna Sumarava's picturesque works for the first time, you feel touched and moved by the visual power and emotional expression of such bright pictures. The sensitive use of color is one of the dominant features of her creative methodological approach to transforming a visualized landscape into an expressive picture. Her structured love for nature touches upon other aspects as well.She draws the viewer's attention to the theme of the artist's is up to the viewer to look beyond the colored landscape-themes the artist shows you--inviting you for an artistic expedition to discover her "internalized" vision of the landscapes she is so enthusiastic about and she willingly and creatively sublimates. The obvious visible object is transformed by the artist into a world of her own. The "obvious" and the "intellectually-emotionally" treated piece of art, influenced by the esoteric sub-conscience: This juxtaposion of intertwined, differently acting factors is a revealing feature of creative processes. It is up to the viewer to look beyond the colored landscape-themes the artist shows you, to start an artistic expedition with "her" to her internalized vision of the landscapes she is so thrilled about and she willingly-passionately constantly sublimates. This process of creation is a value in itself. The artist moves away from the dominant "outside world"/a "materialistic empire" towards presenting a landscape mirroring a living image full of human emotions. It is exciting to observe the maturing of first reflections and discover her efforts to overcome existing boundaries in art and to move towards new frontiers are taking shape in a transparent manner. The color is not just a structural pillar of her creative talents. It is a reflection of her intellectualized experience. It is the expression of an imaginative artist using the artistic space and being--at the same time--aware of its relativity. A generalized landscape multiplied by an intensive blue generates a dimensional depth. Being present in many of her works it penetrates the conscience of the viewer. The choice of another set of a color-platform excites her as if that led to an opening up of a new path to a new sovereign territory. In order to familiarize the viewer with as many colors as possible K. Sumarava -- alongside with her overall artistic approach--gives her work a lyrical softness and an airy subtlety. The modern conceptual search influences the picturesque ensemble she enshrines in her work. They are impregnated by an insatiable thirst to observe picturesque reflections of a delicate nature confronted with a subjective approach/interpretation. In K. Sumarava's work we do not see vividly overpowering emphasized reflections of reality. The energy of her imagination somehow reminds us of capturing a fast moving feature. The artist chooses her unique method of reflecting on a natural landscape in a subjective manner. It seems as if colors in her work were not laid on by a brush but by the creative palms of her imaginative hands. Hence Kataryna seeks to fill the landscapes with her personal emotions and to transform them into artistic ensembles--conducive to a new mind-set of how to look at a artistically "treated" nature. A series of K. Sumarava's pictures is permeated by the theme of water. The shine of a lake mirrored through the shore grass remindthe moment of the lifting of a theater curtain.Such view-points enrich the specter of the space-perception. The strong and outspoken desire for playing with space corresponds to her wish to cast an eye-opening glance at the true reality, lying beyond the real world. Art reveals us the inner light of a creative mind. It can present us with interesting and subtle feelings going beyond the barriers of the concrete world you see and you are living in. K. Sumarava's work--a chance to discover the spiritual world of her art through the prism of her artistic look.
