    Bronze in Nature / Flowers

The series speaks of the importance of preserving the beauty of nature. The beauty of nature exists in everything. It is simple and it is complex. It gives us life and it needs protection. Every leave, every petal is a miracle that must be preserved. I collected the flowers from an old bouquet. It was hard to watch those flowers die and I decided to freeze the moment in my photography.

Art for Yana Gryniv is an opportunity to be heard and to encourage others to think. Her artistic path began with pottery and silk-screen printing, then she turned to stained-glass painting and later added painting, photography and installation art to her circle of activities. In 2022 in Vienna she founded a curatorial platform Art Contact Ukraine. The platform facilitates collaboration between artists, cultural/governmental/diplomatic institutions, and activists. The scope of activity is defined through conceptual art, burning issues and cultural heritage.
