Svitlana Ahranovska
“The series of drawings “Flowering” is, in a sense, a continuation of my previous series “The Body in War”. While working on the series, at some point I feel the need to go beyond the outlined theme and take the next step in this logical sequence. This was actually the transition from the image of a wounded body through the metaphor of a tree to a body that is being restored. This is fully consistent with this metaphor, because the tree as a symbol always carries the possibility of rebirth. And the image of a blossoming branch hints at the Christian symbol of resurrection.”
Svitlana Ahranovska was born in 1985 in Dnipro.
From 2004-2009, she studied at the DOTHC, Department of Painting.
From 2009-2015, she studied at the National Academy of Arts of Ukraine, workshop of temple painting of M. Storozhenko.
