Artist Statement
Svitlana Tykhomyrova's philosophical approach to art and creativity
“Painting for me is my personal 'Terra Incognita' — an uncharted, mystical and free territory where I discover something timeless and beautiful, something that will take form through me and remain forever captured on the canvas.”
The most fascinating part of the painting process for me is taming and organizing the inner chaos of the unconscious. It's like diving deep within and returning through the emergence of a new artwork. Painting is my personal Terra Incognita: an uncharted, mystical, and free land — a place I journey to in search of something timeless and beautiful, something that will take form through me and remain forever captured on canvas.
