「Look at the Picture and Talk about the Painting」Jenya Datsko: Self-consistency is the core of romance

The “outsider” depicted in the painting, why does it resonate with you and me beyond the canvas? Russian artist Jenya Datsko’s paintings focus on the state of women in daily life. She uses soft tones, blending a touch of sadness into the warmth, repeating the female figures to capture the fleeting moments of loneliness and heavyhearted, while enveloping a mysterious beauty.

In her paintings, the scenes of gatherings often feature women as lonely focal figure, either lost in thought or gazing intently. With their complex and profound expressions, they convey confusion and aspiration, as well as the resilience hidden within their solitude. The recurring motif of flowers serves as a metaphor, representing the joys and sorrows, fragility and rebirth of life, all of which flow quietly within the paintings.

She uses different female images as the outlet for emotional connections, prompting the audience to reflect on the complexity of human nature and emotions. It allows the viewers to find solace through resonance, temporarily escaping from the chaos to find tranquility. This is the power of artistic healing, enabling us to understand ourselves, meet our inner truths, transcend languages, and give the soul a warm embrace.
