Kateryna Kobylianska
Kateryna Kobylianska has been communicating visual research on mind games
since 2018. She is a Ukrainian artist based in Montreal, who explores
concepts of nature, silence, synchronicity, and sincerity.
Her artworks are represented in exhibitions from South Sinai to Barcelona,
from Kyiv to Montreal. They become causes for pauses, where Kateryna
invites the audience. So far the artworks have been shown at 20
expositions. And Kobylianska is taking an active part in art residencies,
interdisciplinary projects.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Kateryna believes that non-figurative art allows viewers to build
their individual interpretations by giving free rein to their imagination.
Or simply the invitation to contemplate the gap between what we see and
how we understand, what we caught.
Using multiple layers of mixed media in her creative process, she paints
using acrylics, watercolors, pastels, and lacquer on a large canvas,
creating abstract paintings.
“My art is eternal research on borders and metaphysic light”, - says
Kateryna.
As of the last events in Ukraine, the prominent question artist is posing is how
to combine the reality of war, which is present in her head, and the reality
of peace, which surrounds her in Canada. That`s what you will observe in her
actual visual research.

Are You Fashioning Your Thoughts?" is an artwork that gently nudges us to pay attention not just to how we appear on the outside but also to what's going on inside. It encourages us to take charge of our own world and become the directors of our own outlook on life.
This artwork is like a soothing breath of fresh air with its earthy and mild colors. It's like a warm hug from nature itself. The gentle hues used in the piece remind us of the tranquility of a serene forest or a calm beach, grounding us in a sense of peace and balance.
When you look closely, you'll notice the rich texture in the artwork. It's like running your fingers over the bark of an ancient tree or feeling the softness of the sand beneath your toes. This texture adds depth and complexity to the piece, mirroring the intricate nature of our thoughts and the world we create within ourselves.
And, let's not forget the square shape of the artwork. It's like a window into a world of contemplation. The square is a symbol of stability and balance, reminding us to find equilibrium in our thoughts and actions as we craft our own unique perspective on life.
