Sasha Zinevych Artist Statement:
My artwork is an exploration of bold, bright colors, symbolic imagery, and surrealistic elements. I am fascinated by the power of art to convey emotions and experiences visually, transcending the limitations of words. Through my work, I strive to provide viewers with a glimpse into alternate perspectives and uncharted territories of the mind. I find inspiration in the unconventional and seek to challenge traditional notions of reality. By presenting familiar subjects from unusual angles and infusing them with vibrant hues and intricate patterns, I invite the audience to engage with my art on a deeper level. Each brushstroke and composition is carefully crafted to evoke a visceral response, urging viewers to reflect on their own emotions and experiences. Participating in various Arts & Crafts events has been a transformative experience for me. It has allowed me to connect with diverse audiences and share my artistic vision with the world. Whether it's raising awareness about mental health, supporting community initiatives, or celebrating the power of art in healing, I believe in the transformative potential of artistic expression. In my creative journey, I continually push the boundaries of abstraction and symbolism, striving to create visually stunning and thought-provoking compositions. I hope that through my art, I can inspire viewers to embrace their own unique perspectives, embrace the beauty of unconventional angles, and find solace and inspiration in the vibrant world of abstract art.
