Svetlana Kostina

Cyprus

My artistic journey is rooted in watercolor on handmade paper, where transparency and texture become a language of atmosphere. I seek to capture landscapes not as literal places, but as spaces of memory and meditation — where light, air, and silence intertwine.
Handmade paper is essential to this process: its living surface absorbs pigment unpredictably, creating velvety nuances and subtle transitions. This dialogue between material and color reflects my belief that watercolor is both discipline and surrender, a way to transform fleeting impressions into enduring poetry.
