Bio

 

Nadiya Pankova was born in Donetsk (Ukraine) in 1985. There she got Music and Art education; there she has started oil painting at age 15. Then Nadiya got her Degree in Architecture and worked as an architect for some years. However, in time, Nadiya has realized that the architecture is actually not her field.

In 2014, Nadiya with her family moved to Kiev because of the military operation in the Donbass region. Nadiya has lived in the capital for three years. There she started body painting, performed at the theater and renovated her acrylic painting. There she also became a professional in make-up.

Since 2017, Nadiya Pankova has been living with her husband and two children in Erlangen (Germany). Nadiya teaches art, painting, composition the children and young people of age 3 till 25. 

So, now she is living and working as a painter, dancer, actress, make-up & body-art artist and children's art teacher, but her favorite art forms stay acrylic abstract painting and body-art. 

Nadiya works mainly with mental health issues of creative people, especially women, in the context of integration into a new society. After the full scale war started, Nadiya opened the doors of her studio to children and artists from Ukraine.

Artist statement

 

Polychrome. Poly (polu-) - many, everything. Chrome (khrōma-) - tone, colour. CONTRAST of COLOUR and SATURATION is the horse that carries me galloping through the whirlwinds of my emotions. Contrast is a prism through which I try to discern my perception of the world and the way the world treats me. I'm constantly driven by the desire to get to the root of certain experiences, whether they are my own or those of the environment in which I live. 

Wild dances of vibrant colours and freeform shapes are my way of putting together my worldview, my manner of thinking and discerning, exploring and containing feelings.

The texture of my paintings appeals to the viewer's sensorics. It's like it's whispering - touch me…

I achieve a synergy of polychrome explosions and textured shadow dances by using acrylic paints. They are as loud and impetuous in their fast-drying technique as my rollercoaster-like mindset. Bold palette knife strokes, multi-coloured bright remnants of old dried paint, scraps of thread, styrofoam pieces are implanted in my works as blobs of emotional reactions in the seamless storyline of my life.

Method

I use acrylic paints and structure pastes usually to get deep relief, but sometimes I add different upcycling materials to get more interesting  effects. I prefere several styles in painting. Sometimes it is a long sometimes-architectural working process under composition and color solutions; sometimes it’s more expressive subconscious painting. However, every time the bright rainbow colors are my visit card.
