Artist’s Statement:
I strive to capture moments that blend the beauty of nature with an emotional response. Inspired by Impressionism, I focus on fleeting impressions, the interplay of light and shadow, and conveying emotions through the richness of colour. My canvases are not merely reflections of the world, but interpretations shaped by direct observation and experience. I see art as a means of communication — conveying thoughts and feelings in a direct yet subtle way, creating space for personal reflection and connection. – Andrii Yendakov
