This painting is created using acrylic and pastel on canvas, part of a 2023 series from artist Yasya Volkova. The artist utilizes bold lines and vibrant colors, such as red, yellow, and green, to evoke strong emotions. This piece is part of the 'Lost' exhibition series, focused on domestic animals affected by Russian aggression. The painting embodies a figurative and expressionistic style, blending abstraction with vivid imagery. The use of acrylic and pastel provides a rich texture and depth, highlighting the plight of the portrayed animals.
My name is Yasya Volkova, my fans know me under the pseudonym "ratroik", and it so happened that the drawing chose me, not I chose the drawing. I am a self-made artist, I have been painting all my adult life, starting with A4 paper, ending with digital art and large canvases. I have extensive experience in various art forms, including animation and music. My style belongs to expressionism and abstractionism, because I mostly live by emotions, and art for me is a reflection of my feelings, searching for myself and experiencing the world around me. All my works had the function of releasing me from heavy feelings, fear, anxiety, losses and gains. In my works, I often raise difficult social issues such as war, mental health, psychological and physical trauma, the search for truth, the balance between the end and the beginning, death and life. However, the foundation of my work has been and will be my own reflections and my own reflection of experiences, internal mental processes and mental defense. I recognize the unconscious through the prism of colors. Drawing helped me cope with mental illness and became a part of my psychotherapy, as it has been throughout my life. So now I am ready to share with the audience, experts, art lovers from all over the world the foundation of my life - creativity! Thank you for looking at my profile!
