Anastasia Klymenko
“In love with life as it is, I express feelings in my works - in analog and digital collages and abstract art. Because the philosophy of collage is that something new is formed by combining ``fragments`` of the old. So it is like life- creating new based on the past. Abstract art is about emotions, the process of creating a work is a kind of meditation, inner dance. The main thing is to be able to stop in time. Sometimes it happens that I create a certain work and only when I stop and look at it, I understand what exactly I wanted to say, what is in my soul now. The process comes completely from the inside, the rational is turned off.”
