About myself and my artworks

Leonora Yakimashchenko graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts, already directing her work towards symbolism.
The symbolist principle of the coexistence of two worlds marked the first period of the artist's search.

A painter by education, inspired by Greek antiquity, in her work she searched for answers to eternal questions, which were paradoxically raised by everyday people.

Turning to the myth formed a neo-mythological consciousness in the artist, inherent in the artists of the 20th century, where reality is not something self-sufficient, it constantly redirects the viewer to the myth and symbol.

For Leonora Yakimashchenko, a myth is a spatio-temporal model of an eternal engine, a matrix of fate.

Myth organizes the chaos of reality and gives it an inner meaning.
