Yana Chernova
I was born and took a middle education at Minsk Art College named after A. Glebov in Belarus. After that I got into The Ilya Glazunov Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Mostly work with oil paint. Now there are three directions of my creation (art): searchings of an abstract in real life; violence; landscapes and still lifes.
Chernova said about her art work Blue Days: “When I started creating this portrait, I didn’t think that it would come out like this. I thought: “Hm, a patch on a patch... beautiful!”, but in the end it absorbed me. Me, untidy in that mirror with those cracks, it absorbed all the longing for loved ones, fatigue and the total unknown.”
In an interview with Reuters, Chernova revealed the theme of violence in the portrait Belarusian Venus. “Everything happening with us here is unjustified cruelty against people, against girls - it is a mockery of everything that is wonderful, everything that is soft and warm. It is not just against women, but against Belarus,” Chernova said.
