Trapping Nature and Taming Time
Encased in the solid, swirling, layered forms of Tetiana Belashchuk’s sculpted paintings are the ephemeral and fleeting moments drawn from sensory experiences in nature. Ukrainian watercolor and mixed media slime painter Tetiana Belashchuk utilizes unconventional art forms as a means of capturing and entombing momentary sensations and allowing viewers to revel in them forever. Belashchuk’s three-dimensional abstractions do more than merely convey the beauty and visual dynamics of the natural world, they capture the energy and turmoil of time ticking by. Belashchuk’s work allows us to rewind and slow down, and reminds us that the moments passing by the quickest may be the most worth appreciating.

“Nature is a workshop, an eternal exemplar of art”
The decisive idea is to leave the imprint of nature on the artwork, and provide the observer aesthetic satisfaction.
Strong wind on the Marmaris coastland. Depicted are sea, umbrellas, people, sand, trees at the moment when the wind started. Diagonal smears emphasize the character of nature. Abstract style helps convey the more sensitive impressions from the moment and natural atmosphere. The sea was really dark blue color and the wind distributed this to all landscape. Feelings, inspiration manage the process of painting. The impressions are poured into different abstract shapes and together they create sensitive painting written by feelings, impressions, from nature.
The artwork is volume, with spiral circles on the surface of the canvas, this texture creates a special and dynamic effect, this texture hypnotizes the observer to the world of paintings, helps convey the touches to nature.
The deep blue lake in Ukraine which hide in green trees and reeds around fishermen. Fish, frogs, birds, fish which jumps out of the water, calm wind, the sun goes down.
Early spring in the apple garden when each branch only started burgeoning and the green color was not very saturated. The wind was calm, and not so warm. Birds flying and singing near the trees. The observer walking under trees takes satisfaction from nature. Feelings, inspiration manage the process of painting.
Depicted the spring warm atmosphere in the apple garden. In the artwork, in the middle of spring the trees started to burgeon young leaves. Quiet wind, a rustling of branches created a beautiful landscape when the sunlight illuminated nature. Used small smears to pass each detail of color and form.
Impressions from the warm summer evening, the glitter of sunlight in the clouds, a quiet garden. The picture shows an apple orchard at sunset. The texture and stains convey the landscape emotionally. Feelings, inspiration manage the process of painting.
