Yana Movchan "Touch of Light"
Yanina (Yana) Movchan was born in Kiev in 1971.
Yana’s
sublime mastery of the technique and structure of Renaissance painting
combines with the instinctive symbolism of “magical realism” to create
a personal neo-realist idiom. Her work is formal, yet playful;
contemporary, yet timeless; and joyous, yet mysterious, evocative and
dreamlike.
In Yana’s paintings, the intellectual and
the emotional synthesize to form images that touch the viewer’s heart
whilst issuing a challenge: there are deeper meanings to be unraveled,
hidden clues amongst the hyper-real still lives, portraits and animal
scenes; meanings which echo deep in the unconscious mind. Reviewers
have compared Movchan’s work to Velasquez, Colville and Magritte.
Yana
trained at the Ukrainian Art Academy. Her master’s thesis project (a
triptych entitled “Life on Earth”) won the Golden Fund Prize, the
Academy’s highest art award. Her work has featured in solo and group
exhibitions in the Ukraine, Prague, London and Canada. She is based in
Halifax, Canada, where she lives with her husband and two young sons.
