Artist Name

Yana

Born: 1978

Hometown: St. Petersburg

Based in: Madrid

Yana Medow, a Russian - Spanish artist based in Madrid.
Graduated from the Academy of Applied Arts named after V. Mukhina of Saint Petersburg, specialized as a Painting Restorer.
Worked as a restorer, later as a graphic designer and illustrator.
Since 2017, positioned as a full-time artist.

The aesthetic direction of my work can be described as a figurative/naive style. In these paintings, you can see grotesque characters, sometimes erotic, but the ultimate goal of my work is to show the universal grace of the human body, along with the comical naivety of human ideas, concepts, and thoughts.
