Yana Istoshina

I am a contemporary visual artist working with symbolic, visionary and experiential imagery.
My work explores inner states, perception, and the relationship between consciousness and form.

Drawing inspiration from nature, archetypal symbolism, and meditative practices, I create artworks that invite the viewer into a contemplative space — a pause beyond everyday narratives.

My artistic practice spans traditional painting, immersive installations, and works designed to transform space and perception. Each piece is created as a visual anchor for an inner experience rather than a decorative object.

Master’s degree in Graphic Design with six years of academic training.
Additional professional education in realistic and abstract painting.

Since 2010, my work has been exhibited in group and solo exhibitions in galleries and institutional spaces in the United Kingdom, the United States, China, Russia, and other countries.

My exhibitions have ranged from small independent galleries to large-scale institutional venues, reflecting a diverse exhibition history across different cultural and curatorial contexts.
