SVETA GAS
Revelations of Freedom and Love Through Abstract Expressions
Svetlana Krylova, known to the artistic world as Sveta Gas, is a luminary in the realm of abstract art, deftly capturing the elusive essence of freedom and love on her canvases.
Beyond the confines of a traditional artist, I am a certified art therapist, infusing my work with a profound understanding of the human psyche and the healing power of artistic expression. A graduate from the esteemed Faculty of Arts at Moscow State University, my academic forays into the intricacies of semiotics and general art theory served as the gateway to a mesmerizing exploration of novel forms of fine painting and self-expression.
Each stroke of my brush encapsulates unbridled freedom, reflecting the unrestrained flow of inner thoughts, emotions, and aspirations that resonate within every individual.
My art serves as a testament to the beauty of the creative process, an intricate dance that unites the artist with the canvas, interweaving the cosmic energies of the universe with the profound essence of the human spirit. It is a fervent celebration of liberation, a symphony of love, and a visual odyssey that beckons viewers on an eternal voyage of self-discovery and perpetual artistic evolution.
Sveta combines her artistic talent with a deep understanding of psychology and semiotics. Her work centers on self-discovery, turning the canvas into a sanctuary for emotional expression. She embraces a process of letting go, creating without preliminary sketches or predetermined themes, allowing her feelings to flow directly onto the canvas. Each artwork is finished only when Sveta has fully experienced and expressed the emotions of that particular moment in her life. She then uses techniques from psychological Tarot cards to interpret the completed piece, integrating her art therapy practice into this reflective process. This journey mirrors the symbolic "Hero’s Journey" that Sveta has been on for the past year and a half.
The Hero’s Journey starts with "The Fool," symbolizing sincerity and innocence. The Major Arcana of the Tarot—like "The Emperor," "Judgment," and "Death"—represent the highs and lows of life, while the Minor Arcana offer insights into the Hero's inner world and its relationship with the external world. The journey culminates with "The World," representing a state of complete harmony between the inner and outer realms. But this journey is ongoing, with each cycle providing new wisdom.
Sveta Gas invites you to follow her path from chaos to harmony, canvas by canvas. As you engage with her work, you'll find that the emotions you encounter are universal, allowing you to reflect on your own experiences, reinterpret your life, and move towards your own sense of balance.
Whether you follow the path guided by the artist’s Tarot or chart your own course, may your journey be graceful and insightful.
