Olena Kolotova

I create my paintings to convey the fleeting nature of time while simultaneously delving into self-discovery and being present in the here and now. My work explores the interplay between time and place, their influence on my feelings and perception of the world. Through my canvases, I capture moments as reflections of my inner world.
Each painting is a dialogue with a place, which becomes the entry point to my creative process. Space shapes associations that affect my emotions and experiences, while the paints and colors I use reflect my inner state, emotions, and aspirations.
My art is an intuitive process, where logic is absent, and pure creativity takes over. I see myself as a conduit, allowing the subconscious to speak through the language of color and form. Each piece is a unique moment of connection between the inner and outer, the spatial and temporal, the felt and the intangible.
My goal is to explore the nature of a fleeting moment and allow the viewer to see it through my eyes, feeling the energy of time and space captured on the canvas.
