Bo Kravchenko LANDSCAPES
In my work, I’m searching for serenity by representing my own inner space. I use classical art forms, but also enjoy playing with new different materials. My art process is intuitive, it's a kind of a conversation I am having with the canvas. The language I'm using is colors, shapes and textures to communicate something beyond that cannot be expressed with words. Painting has become a tool that lets me explain stories and express everything that makes surprises, depressed me, annoyed and all the other emotions that make who I am. I hope, it gives the viewer the opportunity to create their own story, meaning or associations, and makes each piece personal to them. I wish my artworks bring some joy and thoughtfulness, as well.
