Katerina Yakovleva

The birth of beauty and hope is impossible without accepting chaos hiding under the framework of visible orderliness. In this multidimensionality, the paradox of life and human nature, modern art finds creative forces, new meanings and harmony.

The artist Katerina Yakovleva is trying to reconcile complex sensual experiences and beautiful dualities of life. Her paintings tell of a delicate balance of creation and destruction, an attempt to organize or at least see order in a world that is always striving for entropy. While working on a painting, the artist sometimes sees how the image suddenly begins to disintegrate on canvas, which can be frustrating and misleading for a while. “However, this is the process of creativity, akin to the course of being itself, life; there is no goal, but a movement, with sudden deviations from the script, with moments of parting with important ideas and the emergence of new ones, where all the time in chaos something breaks apart and something is born again”.

Her paintings found their home in private collections in Russia, United Kingdom, USA, Italy, Austria, Finland, Lithuania and Romania.
