Yana Medow

Yana Medow Alicante-based artist.

STATEMENT

My paintings explore the humor, tenderness, and absurdity of human nature through
bold, figurative forms. I’m fascinated by body language-how a simple tilt of the head,
a crossed leg, or a stretched hand can tell an entire story.

Each work is a playful dialogue between elegance and exaggeration. I use vivid colors,
soft curves, and surreal twists to reveal both irony and intimacy. My characters often
exist in their own theatrical worlds-relaxed, mischievous, self-aware, sometimes
bored-but always alive.

Through these figures, I reflect on the beauty of imperfection and the charm of
everyday emotions. Whether it’s swans whispering secrets or goddesses tangled in
their thoughts, my art invites viewers to smile, feel, and recognize something human
in the strange.
