BIOGRAPHY
Yana Kaplan discovered the collage method through extensive technical research and experimentation and extensive travel experience. Her work combines basic academic knowledge with a variety of contemporary materials. For example, instead of a white canvas, the artist uses prints or creates collages.
Constantly experimenting with techniques, colors, materials and presentation, Yana Kaplan is constantly looking for new tools, giving her works a multi-layered formal and conceptual load.
“I love playing with texture; it creates unique dynamics and volume on the canvas. The paintings evoke a desire to touch them; when the viewer’s hand touches them, they are filled with energy and become even more vibrant and textured.”

STATEMENT
Creating art is my way of translating emotions and experiences into visual stories. Through vibrant colors and dynamic compositions, I strive to evoke curiosity and introspection in the viewer. My work is a reflection of the beauty and complexity of the human experience, inviting others to explore and connect with their own emotions.
