Artist and psychologist Veronika Kyrychenko discusses her creative practice and introduces her new series of work
Artist and psychologist Veronika Kyrychenko discusses her creative practice and introduces her new series of work

Veronika Kyrychenko is an artist and psychologist whose artistic practice is a means to release the emotions stemming from the therapy sessions she conducts. She has implemented art therapy in her clinical work for over 15 years as a way to encourage communication.

She graduated from the National City University, Dnipro in 1992 with a degree in biology, and completed her PhD in 1999. In 2004 she earned another degree, graduating with a BA in psychology from Sevastopol City University. Between 1996-2018 Veronica taught physiology and psychology at university and began working as a consulting psychologist in 2006. Due to the global pandemic in 2020, Veronika was forced to change the way she met clients. She turned to art and paints every day for four hours. During her work Veronika remembers the stories of her clients - their dreams and concerns, inability to accept the truth, or see the reality as it is, to admit a conflict or lack of will to improve or work on mental blockages or limitations. She reveals their most sacred emotions through her art, releasing herself from burden or worry.

VISUAL ARTIST AND COMMUNICATION DESIGNER ANDREEA VLAD SHARES INSIGHT INTO HER WORK
VISUAL ARTIST AND COMMUNICATION DESIGNER ANDREEA VLAD SHARES INSIGHT INTO HER WORK

Andreea Vlad is a visual artist and communication designer currently residing in Copenhagen. Her illustrative work revolves around life-sized portraiture, combining a realistic observation of the human state, both physical and emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting.

Her creative process includes transitioning from fast and gestural sketches to labour-intensive and time-consuming 1:1 scale drawings realised in a photorealistic manner. Her preferred drawing technique is pastel on paper, however, she often experiments with various materials, introducing acrylic paint, ink, collage, and image transfer techniques. She draws inspiration for her work from various artists such as Caravaggio, Velázquez, Jenny Saville and Nicola Samori.

Andreea graduated from the University of Art, Cluj Napoca, Transilvania, and furthered her studies in both multimedia and communication design in Copenhagen.

We are delighted to feature her work in Drawn Volume 3. Leaders in Contemporary Illustration, out now!

Landscape painter Laura Porteous explains how the Swiss Alps inspire her work and how artists can make environmentally concious changes
Landscape painter Laura Porteous explains how the Swiss Alps inspire her work and how artists can make environmentally concious changes

An underlying message of climate change runs within the changing dramatic glacial mountains depicted in the work of contemporary landscape painter Laura Porteous. “My intention is to ensure the mountains of the area are recognisable down to every rock-band, while stamping my projections on how the weather or climate presents them to me at any given time.” Aside from her immediate surroundings, she also paints landscapes of destinations she believes require attention and awareness.

Christo Kasabov introduces his new series of paintings
Christo Kasabov introduces his new series of paintings

The work of American Bulgarian artist Christo Kasabov is inspired by the masters of Italian High Renaissance and Post Renaissance. It is evident that his work is also influenced by the artwork of Russian abstract painter Wassily Kandinsky and the avant-garde Russian artist Kazimir Malevich.

Christo states of his creative process, “I use a complex combination of materials developed and distributed on the surface of the canvas as a challenge, contradiction and defiance of the concept of moderation.” He works with oil and acrylic on canvas. He explains his work as a “transformation of emotions”.

His work has been exhibited extensively to a global audience including group and solo showings throughout Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Greece, the Netherlands, USA and Canada.

We are delighted to feature his work in our latest edition, Curatorial Volume.2, Leaders in Contemporary Art. In addition to his works shown in the publication, Christo has also produced a new series, and shares the story behind the work in his own words:
