Lesia Danilina is a talented artist lives in Turkey.

"Globally, the theme of my art is Healing and Mental Health. I talk about the state of mind of modern man in an era of global change and traumatic events.
In my art I propose to explore the causes of discomfort (Essentialism series) and to see ways to peace (Moments and Beige feelings).
In doing so, I want to deepen Herman Rorschach's research on the interpretation of stains and personality characteristics of emotional states in the key of specifically healing from negative experiences.

To reflect this theme, I use acrylic and soak-stain and mostly uncoated canvas.
Initially I only have stain and color in my arsenal. And then I can only use the art of composition, knowledge of color psychology and physics of materials (using different mediums for acrylics, water pours, texture pastes, ground coffee).

I create my abstractions meticulously thinking through each stain and color.
To structure the work in abstract art is to conduct chaos. But at the same time I am constantly in dialogue with my material, allowing it to guide me, thereby holding the balance. With a subtle intuitive understanding of how this works and influences the viewer, it can make a wonderful statement. It is resonant, succinct and profound.

I believe that healing work can take place through abstract works because it is when observing abstract paintings that the subconscious mind actively begins to work.

I guide the viewer through experiences that have become healing for me and give support on the difficult path to inner harmony."
