Inna Chesniuk/ Women Art

Inna Chesniuk is a contemporary pastel and colored pencil artist from Kharkiv, Ukraine, currently temporarily based in Vilnius, Lithuania. Her favorite media are colored pencils, pastel pencils, and soft pastels, or mixed media, when she mixes all above to deepen colors or to experiment with some new techniques. Inna equally adores textiles and craft, experimenting with different materials like textiles, felt, beads, etc. She is passionate about botany and wildlife, adores plants, nature, insects, birds, and animals. Inna believes there is a story behind each story, so, picking up a specie or an object to draw, she usually tries to tell the story behind the choice and bring it to life. Every time she draws or creates an art object, she usually tries to add a touch of humor to each sample, because she is convinced that without a good sense of humor, our life would be really boring and cruel. Inna cares much about botanical accuracy in plant and wildlife depiction, meticulously revealing all the details, paying extra attention to all possible imperfections of an object of depiction. Another point of her interest is the composition of an object/ objects, its shape, texture, and light. Each drawing for her is a special project, possibility to present the chosen object in its initial beauty, to reveal the emotional attachment between a plant and a human, to make people fall in love with the beauty of nature.
