Hunting For The Unknown Print

My name is Yaroslava Volkova, and it so happened that drawing chose me, and not I chose drawing. I am a self-made artist, I have been drawing all my adult life, starting from A4 paper, ending with digital art and large canvases. My style belongs to expressionism and abstract, as I mostly live with emotions, and art for me is reflections of my feelings, the search for myself and the experience of the world around me. All my works had the function of liberation from heavy feelings, fear, anxiety, losses and acquisitions. For many years I did not want to show my boiling, stormy, an inner life filled with suffering from emotional swings. The unconscious will become conscious through the prism of colors. I have Bipolar Disorder and after several years of unsuccessful therapy, I finally got the right diagnosis and treatment. Drawing helped me cope with my illness and was part of my psychotherapy. And now I, and my work, will be able to see the world. I stopped being afraid to be myself, and you will see it in my works.
