Direction Imposed – Emotional Drawing About Displacement and Inner Tension (33×27.5 cm)
This work is part of a series exploring the experience of emigration—a path the artist did not choose. Executed entirely in fine ink lines on paper, the series reflects a deliberate choice of medium. The slow, meditative process of working with delicate lines invites extended introspection. Each mark functions like a stretched nerve, echoing the artist's psychological state during the time of creation. The result is a deeply personal visual narrative shaped by displacement, vulnerability, and inner tension.
With its rich visual texture and introspective symbolism, this work invites the viewer to contemplate the silent struggles behind movement, survival, and transformation.

Presentation
Yana Dmitrieva is a contemporary artist whose work explores emotions, fear, and the inner struggle for self-identification and expression. Born in Barnaul, Russia, in 1981, she currently lives and works in Herceg Novi, Montenegro.
A graduate of the Novoaltaysk State Art School and the Altai State Institute of Culture, Yana began her creative career in furniture and interior design. Over time, her focus shifted toward fine art, which became a deeply personal tool for reflection and emotional exploration.
Her move to Europe in 2022 marked a transformative chapter in her life. Personal and global upheavals became catalysts for artistic evolution, with her practice centering on the tension between external circumstances and internal conflict.
Yana works across various media and techniques. Her drawings in colored pencil and ink allow for introspection and fine detail, offering a meditative process well-suited to exploring complex ideas. She also paints in oil on canvas, drawn to the material’s richness and durability for expressing intense visual narratives.
Currently, she is developing a new series that delves into the complex relationship between the self and its inner contradictions. Her art functions as a visual diary—intuitive, emotionally charged, and grounded in lived experience.
In 2023 and 2024, Yana participated in two group exhibitions focused on urban-themed art at the Museum of Herceg Novi. She is now preparing for her first solo exhibition, where she will present her deeply personal and thought-provoking works.
