Marina Yanen
Marina Yanen introduces art to your existing surroundings in a farm of functional objects. “Over the past two year I have devoted my time to the exploration of innovative approaches by experimenting with techniques and various surfaces. Gradually my creative focus changed. I become further attracted to shapes and textures. What was initially a passion for painting and painting and drawing turned into a zeal for functional arts. As a result, the mirrors and cabinets inspired by music, nature and dream imaginary, were created.”
Yanen’s wide array of work includes mirrors, wall panels, cupboards and boxes that are all visually appealing and pleasing to the touch. She works in acrylic, ink and mixed media.’
Born and educated in Ukraine in 1997, Marina visited Vancouver and has become a resident of BC ever since. Her educational background includes architectural technology, graphic design, four-year of Dontetsk Art School, private lessons with a renowned Ukrainian artist and she has continued studies in fine and decorating arts.
Marina’s works were exhibited throughout Greater Vancouver and Europe.
The purpose of my work is to create art that enhances your existing surroundings both creatively and functionally, art that appeals not just to your eye but also to your sense of touch.
I am inspired by a subject’s character influenced by sounds, moods, its environment or time more than by its physical form. The imagery is fluid as the creative process as driven by impulse and intuition. Fantasies and Realities, past and future intermingle and blend in capricious, unpredictable ways. I gather my inspirations from music, nature, stories and legends, dream world and my imagination.
Because I believe in art as a strong force that brings in kindness and mindfulness to the world, my intentions are to create imagery that engages people’s imagination, encourages further creativity in the viewer. I hope that my art will bring joy to people’s heart; allow them to find meaning in my work through their own experiences.
