Vetka Eucalyptus: Botany and Art

Sveta Makarenko, Ukraine

My name is Sveta. I come from a small town that in Ukraine. For me, the environment is a flow of visual material.  I am interested in the characters of people, their emotions, inner world and relationships, the rhythm of nature and the rhythm of the city, the inner state of a person, the air, the singing of birds - all the life that is around is a potential, a source of pictorial expressiveness.  I set myself the task of pulling out the most important thing from the stream, seeing in it a potential object of my work.  For me, the original condition, not the visual resemblance. Travel and encounters with different cultures are also an integral source of inspiration. In my work, I experiment with different techniques, play with color, shape and texture, creating unique and attractive visual images. Through my works, I encourage the viewer to think about their own place in the world, their relationships with others and the inner world. I strive to create a space for dialogue and self-discovery, where everyone can find themselves and the opportunity for growth and development. I am not afraid to experiment and look for new forms of expression. My works are the personification of freedom of creative thought and vital energy. I do not set limits for my art and invites the viewer on a journey where he can discover new facets of his perception and be inspired by art. I continue my search and experiments, charging myself with new impressions and ideas. My works call for openness, courage and exploration of the unexplored boundaries of art.
