Yaroslav Leonets

Hi, my name is Yaroslav Leonets and I’m a modern artist from Ukraine.
A few words about me and my life. Since childhood, I have felt the necessity to articulate my feelings
in a nonverbal way because l could not express myself with words. I spent a lot of time alone with
my thoughts and feelings. And this made me find a way to communicate with the world, telling
about my feelings and personal glance at it. But gestures, facial expressions, and physiognomy
were not enough to speak with the world.
I could not convey what I saw around but I’ve tried visual art and gradually through various artistic
images I found a way to reveal and express what I really feel. I have always been inspired by the search
of new forms of communication with the world; therefore, my childhood research has turned into
the work of my life.
As an artist, I see myself in various forms of art like painting, graphics, and sculpture. I experiment
a lot, looking for new ways to convey the reality in which I live. I often synthesize various materials.
