Yana Dmitrieva

Yana Dmitrieva is a contemporary artist exploring emotions, fears, and the human struggle for self-identity and self-expression. Born in Barnaul, Russia, in 1981, she now lives and works in Herceg Novi, Montenegro.

Her practice spans a variety of mediums, with a preference for oil on canvas due to its depth, longevity, and the creative satisfaction it sparks in her. She also works with colored pencils and graphite, techniques that encourage introspection and are well-suited for exploring complex ideas.

Currently, Yana is developing a new series that investigates the intricate relationship between the self and its inner contradictions. Actively involved in the contemporary art scene, she plans to debut a solo exhibition soon, showcasing her deeply personal and thought-provoking work.
