Anastasiia Danilenko

Destruction, 110x80cm, oil on canvas

Anastasiia Danilenko is a graphic designer. But the area of her occupation is painting, and, moreover, such a traditional painting genre as a portrait. Although it cannot be called traditional in Danilenko's intentions. "I write images and forms. Color spots and lines. My characters have their eyes closed. Without looking into a person's eyes, we are able to see much more" - says the artist. Her portraits capture herself and her relationship with the world. Anastasiia Danilenko's portraits are confessional, regardless from the most imprinted image. Anastasia Danilenko is not concerned about the specific appearance a lot, as the very essence of the shell that hides a person in itself. In waist portraits, the figurative load is carried by the gesture and the general position of the body itself. Anastasiia Danilenko always starts with black, painting over the entire surface of the canvas with black paint and writes on it with her favorite range of green and pink colors. The colors seem saturated on the black underdrawing, the image has a black outline and writes on it with her favorite range of green, pink colors. The colors sound saturated on the black underdrawing, the image has a black contour and a rigid structure. Out of this black nothingness and subconscious Anastasiia, as a sculptor, carves alluring and catchy images full of her frankness.
