Halina Horava

Halina Valeryeuna Horava was born on May 11, 1972 in Minsk.Halina Horava has been fully engaged in national and international art exhibitions since 1996. In 2000, she became a Member of the Belarusian Union of Artists, Pahonia Creative Association. She works in the field of easel painting and has created more than one hundred paintings. Most of her paintings are devoted to the space theme.
Halina Horava's creative concept is that it is an artistic image that currently provides the most complete opportunity to be in touch with the beauty of the Universe. Her paintings, dedicated to Space, are an attempt to visually master the immediate space environment, a journey to the planets of our star system. The artist usually relies on modern astronomical images creating her cosmic landscapes, however sometimes she constructs completely fantastic landscapes.
She presents space on her paintings as a theater of constant and continuous actions, where the plot intrigues are never less exciting than any Earthly events. The first Belarusian painter-cosmist, Yazep Drazdovich, is the art ideal and example to follow for Halina Horava. She often participated in art open-airs dedicated to this famous artist.
