About Polina Salenko
Biography
For
me, drawing is as essential as breathing — it is a natural and constant
necessity. In my work, I seek to convey subtle moods and emotional states. I am
deeply inspired by nature, especially unusual plants, trees, and birds. Nature
unites people and deserves our attentive contemplation. I draw intuitively,
allowing images to emerge organically. Ink is the medium that most powerfully
conveys feeling for me, particularly through drawing techniques. I enjoy
combining ink with acrylic on paper, as well as working with watercolor. These
materials feel grounded and honest; they connect me physically and emotionally
to the natural world. My goal is to reflect on and express the quiet
sentimentality present in everything that surrounds us, while highlighting the
beauty of nature and human emotion.
