Yanina Boldyreva — a contemporary Russian multimedia artist, curator, photographer, creator of art books and organizer of art festivals.
Combines work in project photography, street art, and public art (murals). Also creates photo books, easel graphics, and video art. Together with a group, curates projects, some of which are the art market "Dern" and the scientific street art festival "Graphit Nauki" in Novosibirsk.
Usually, Yanina works in the field of art photography and wall painting, less frequently - video art, installations, mixed media. Over the past year, she has been actively engaged in easel graphics.
She is interested in borderline transitional states, unexplored territories on the map of human perceptions, and the variability of the course of life and one's view of it. Like many artists, Yanina works with personal themes or those in which she can find parallels with her own experience. She uses various visual styles for her projects, selecting for each theme a language that maximally expresses it. Yanina says she strives to create multi-layered projects that can be perceived at different levels, and in addition to the conceptual component, she uses bright intuitively readable visual images. The concepts the author works with: the subjectivity of human perception, conflict, oblivion, forgetting, disappearance, destruction, the variability of life, objective and subjective, banality and madness.
In 2009, she graduated from the Novosibirsk Architectural and Art Academy with a degree in monumental artist.
The creative journey began with digital art, but gradually the focus of work shifted to photography. In parallel, curatorial projects were created, as well as works in the mural art style (wall painting).
From 2009 to 2013, she was a co-organizer and participant of the art group "LYUDISTEN," which engaged in wall painting (public art), whose murals were located in a number of cities: Yekaterinburg, Tomsk, Novosibirsk.
Since 2011, he has also been collaborating with Ukrainian artist Alexander Isaenko, creating both analog works—photobooks—and digital ones: video art, web projects. Their works have been recognized by prestigious competitions and have participated in international screenings and exhibitions.
