Awakening. The Inner Light of the Soul

DOC ART GALLERY presents a new exhibition project by Katerina Tatarenko-Manko – “Awakening. The Inner Light of the Soul”.

We are happy to invite you to the exhibition, which represents a new milestone in Katerina’s work, defined by the birth of her son. The title of the project reflects the essence of these changes: for the artist, motherhood was not only an awakening to a new life, but also revelation of deep, unexplored significance. This transformation served as the creative impulse, directing her seek toward new forms of self-expression, leading to the comprehension of the hidden depths of the world within.

The exhibition focus is on the artist’s favorite genres: portraiture and still life. A lyrical mood unifies the works presented. The portraits, including paired ones, organically harmonized with still lifes, express a subtle emotional connection between the characters and their surroundings. This space evokes a sense of a peaceful dialogue, complete mutual understanding, and spiritual freedom. Through carefully crafted forms, harmonious composition, and a restrained yet expressive palette, Katerina creates a unique atmosphere. Her works capture fleeting states of soul, turning personal experiences into versatile images that are both relevant and eternal at the same time.

Thus, the “Awakening. The Inner Light of the Soul” captured in Katerina’s works makes innermost feelings and meanings visible. Contemplating this harmony, each viewer has the opportunity to discover something new and luminous within themselves, sharing with the artist this awakening to beauty.
