Нина Федотова

My life experience and search for myself - as a person, an artist and a woman - led me to the study of color and my fascination with it. Its philosophy and symbolism have become important tools in my work. The bright and saturated colors in my paintings are a way to confront the war in Ukraine, the stress, tension and difficulties that have become a reality for all of us.
Each of my works is an attempt to rethink reality through the prism of naive art, surrealism and minimalism.
Through painting, I remind myself and others that life, despite its complexity and versatility, is beautiful. It deserves attention, love and rethinking. Creativity allows us to see it from a different perspective, to reassess what we have and find new meanings.
