Description

Sakura — A Dialogue with Japanese Aesthetics

Elena Bandurka

Year: 2017
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Format: Four-panel vertical painting installation

Created for Berlin Art Week in 2017, “Sakura” is a four-panel painting installation inspired by Japanese aesthetics, the delicate beauty of cherry blossoms, and the traditional presentation of vertically hanging artworks.

Fascinated by the elegance of elongated Japanese compositions, Elena Bandurka chose a format in which four narrow canvases hang freely, creating a rhythmic dialogue between painting, space, and movement.

Against deep, almost black backgrounds, expressive bursts of red, pink, yellow, green, and blue evoke the fleeting beauty of sakura blossoms. The contrast between darkness and vibrant colour creates a sense of mystery, renewal, and the changing seasons.

During the creative process, the artist independently studied and copied Japanese characters from a dictionary, incorporating calligraphic elements into the compositions. These gestures became part of her personal exploration of Japanese visual culture, rather than an attempt to reproduce traditional Japanese calligraphy.

The four panels function both individually and as a unified installation. Their vertical proportions encourage the viewer to experience the artwork as a sequence of visual impressions, reminiscent of falling petals, flowing ink, and the passage of time.

“Sakura” reflects the artist’s fascination with cultural dialogue, experimentation, and the freedom to reinterpret artistic traditions through a contemporary visual language.

Presentation

Elena Bandurka is a contemporary artist, that is engaged in various art projects, such as creating installations, conceptual photography, abstract painting and more, sometimes sews a collection and create jewellery.

One of her black&white photos, got Berliner Liste Special Edition during Berlin Art Week.

She likes to work in eco-art and other types of a socially important genre of contemporary art. Elena is inspired by what is happening around us. Ideas like the lightning sparkle in me. Sometimes it's not easy to immediately realize an idea, she likes to combine unusual things and surprise. She wants to draw attention to open questions, such as preserving the environment, by using unusual materials in my work, as well as how beautiful a woman's portrait is in black and white shadow. Having many ideas, but my main goal is to tell people in an accessible and interesting language how important is the preservation of the purity of our ecology and beauty will save the world and love makes us wiser.
