A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

Svetlana Borisova was born in Neksikane, north Siberia, on the border with the Kamchatka peninsula, where her father surveyed the local geology for important mineral resources.

The house in which she was born stood on the confluence of 3 rivers, a land full of contrasts in which only the strong survive. At the age of 17 months she was almost abducted by an eagle, only to be saved by her siberian baby-sitter dog.

These places are characterised by a very long winter, followed by in fast succession by spring and summer. A land in which mother nature has a very strong and visible presence, a land whose colors undergo fast, drastic and turbulent changes.

It's in this context that the artist's nature and strong character was forged: a generous mother, an impetuous stream of siberian vitality, a formidable resource of energy and inventiveness.

As a young girl, Svetlana moved to Moscow with her family in order to complete her studies and become a physical rehabilitation specialist.

After that she met and fell in love with an italian boy, eventually causing her to move to Rome, Italy, where she now resides with her husband Enrico and her son Cesare.

Artworks - Elements of inspiration

Soul’s Shelter

Svetlana is an international artist , she creates and shows her artworks with constant critiques and public success. She has exhibited in numerous international exhibitions, has publications in important catalogues and magazines of the art sector and has won several art prizes. Some of her artworks are part of Museum and Private collections.

Svetlana’s artworks reflect the dialogue of her soul with the world, with particular attention to the harmony between the human soul and the mineral, vegetable, animal and universal lives. The use of oil on canvas has become her preferred medium, allowing her to communicate her passionate and generous nature more fully. Her art is a synthesis of situations, impressions and intuitions, all symbolically shaped and focused on the human essence in connection with the life that surrounds her. Although she adopts different techniques, her works share a unifying message: harmony achieved through the union of opposing principles.

Inside and outside this dimension, a soaring of warm tones of primitive energy, spread in massive flows, which seem to fight with the cold ones in an attempt to impose themselves on them, just as the warmth of spring asserts itself for a short season on the rigors of winter of the Siberian steppes. Svetlana's symbolism reflects many of the typical characteristics of the late nineteenth-century Nordic style, including expressionistic inclinations, almost as if it were the cold climate, evidently capable of deeply affecting the personalities of those who form in its contact, that spontaneously led to certain dispositions rather than anything else.

Svetlana's painting cannot be defined strictly because it is not figurative and not abstract. She managed to find a way to make two different forms of art converse. She manages to combine these two artistic skills because you see that forms merge with the freedom of imagination. In her canvases there are very powerful, very strong colours. Svetlana loves shades but she somehow has the ability to use very dense backgrounds, the colours are saturated, they are powerful and strong colours that then fade in their profiles to become something else.

ARTISTIC EVOLUTION

After a lifetime spent in close contact with people researching physical and spiritual well-being, Svetlana began to feel an ever-growing series of strong, creative impulses which eventually launched her into a new, artistic dimension.

During her first artistic phase, Svetlana preferred medium was colored chalk drawings. She then moved on to the use of oil paints on canvas, which to this day are her prevalent form of expression.

The most striking aspects of Svetlana's art are characterised by the use of a lively color palette and the artist's capacity to find fascinating and dazzling combinations, applied to a wide variety of strongly symbolic subjects which are concerned with the journey of the inner being to the outer world. It's through these elements that the artist's very soul shines.
