diptych «Whales and the ocean» (2021) Painting by Lesia Danilina

Lesia Danilina is a contemporary artist based in Turkey. On a global scale, the central theme of her art revolves around Healing and Mental Health. Through her artistic expression, she delves into the psychological state of contemporary individuals amidst a backdrop of worldwide transformations and traumatic experiences. Her artwork aims to investigate the underlying sources of distress through her Essentialism series, while also offering glimpses of tranquility and serenity through her Moments and Beige Feelings series.

In order to convey this theme, she employs acrylic and soak-stain techniques on predominantly uncoated canvas. Initially, her artistic arsenal consisted solely of stains and colors. Subsequently, she harnessed the power of composition, a deep understanding of color psychology, and the physical properties of materials. This involved utilizing various mediums for acrylics, water pours, texture pastes, and even ground coffee, enabling her to create visually captivating and thought-provoking artwork.

She meticulously crafts her abstractions, carefully considering each stain and color choice. Structuring a piece in abstract art involves orchestrating chaos, yet she maintains an ongoing dialogue with her materials, allowing them to guide her process and strike a harmonious balance.
