This sculpture is like my mirror. This is my self-portrait created from various materials, fabric, plastic, and something else. She is part of my global project. I portrayed myself in the best way, the best version of me. Lady in a hat with a rose and a veil. Mysteriousness and mystery.

December 2020

Its a one of the sculptures in “Hyperrealistic Motanka” project. Its project of large installations with many sculptures.

I’m also interested and inspired by the history of Ukraine, its past, customs and traditions. Therefore, a series of installations, “Hyperrealistic Motanka”, will be presented at the exhibition. Its “ Hyperrealistic Motanka” project, a traditional doll from ancient times. Motanka is a traditional doll that protects both the house and the child with its positive energy. I like to study and delve into history. Inspired by this part of the history of my country, Ukraine, I got the idea to create a full-length Motanka sculpture. Let it be even more powerful energetically than small and more noticeable. This project is also Eco friendly. These dolls-sculptures made from scrap materials that have become unnecessary at home and these are different clothes, plastic, polyethylene, cardboard, etc. It is an ecological project for which, to create it, I bought the only adhesive tape in the store, I found everything else at home and in an art studio, which was recycled to cleanse our planet of pollution.

This work carries a positive paired energy, Motanka sculptures are lovers—love, peace and goodness. Love will save the world! Let everyone enjoy this wonderful feeling.

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.
