Manifestó II 2019 Acrylic on canvas  30 cm x 30 cm https://www.instagram.com/yana_kantsel/ We are represent Yana Kantsel I’m a painter based in Moscow, Russia. I was graduated from the Moscow State University of Industrial and Applied Art named after S.G.Stroganov, department of monumental decorative painting During my career I was committed to classic art and created murals in historical styles. I was painting churches, palaces and estates mostly in classical style. One day I awoke to the fact that I need to turn from past to the real time and embarked upon my own art. I’ve chosen abstract art as a way to explore myself, to feel free and not to get attached to objective world. Interface between technical skills and creativity is the substance of my approach. Scaling up this concept I state my essential idea, to temper intuition and mind and balance the intelligence and the sense. I share my essence by the means of art. The essence is what we are made up of. It’s our feelings, emotions, thoughts. Creating is capturing and generate positive emotions and I form them into a shape to share in my art.
