Svetlana Makarova
Svetlana Makarova
Svetlana Makarova is a self-taught contemporary artist based in Donetsk whose work explores the space between dreams, symbolism, and emotional imagination through surreal and magical realist painting. Working intuitively from an early age, the artist has developed a distinctive visual language shaped by symbolism, fantasy, and deeply personal narratives that blur the boundaries between reality and the subconscious.
Her contemporary paintings combine elements of magical realism, surrealism, and symbolic figurative art, often merging multiple visual styles within a single composition. Through layered imagery, luminous color, and dreamlike atmospheres, Makarova creates immersive worlds where human figures, nature, and symbolic forms coexist in emotionally charged and poetic spaces.
Influenced by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Henri Rousseau, Michael Parkes, Ilene Meyer, Freydoon Rassouli, and Vladimir Kush, the artist draws inspiration from surrealist traditions while maintaining an independent and highly personal approach to storytelling and visual symbolism.
At the center of Makarova’s artistic practice is the idea of interconnectedness — the relationship between inner experience, nature, imagination, and unseen emotional realities. Her works invite viewers into contemplative spaces where symbolism and intuition replace direct narrative, allowing each composition to unfold through atmosphere, emotion, and visual association.
Svetlana Makarova’s paintings are held in private collections in Russia and the United States. Her contemporary surreal artworks resonate with collectors drawn to symbolic art, dreamlike figurative painting, and emotionally immersive works that bring mystery, imagination, and narrative depth into contemporary interiors and curated collections.

Pavel Petrenko
Pavel Petrenko is a contemporary artist based in the Seattle area whose work explores imagination, perception, and emotional energy through abstract painting and stylized portraiture. Working intuitively across oil, acrylic, and textured 3D paint, the artist creates visually layered compositions that balance expressive color, geometric rhythm, and psychological atmosphere.
Largely self-taught, Petrenko has developed an independent artistic language shaped by experimentation and personal observation since childhood. His contemporary artworks move between abstraction and figurative form, often featuring mosaic-like portraits constructed through pointillist structures, fragmented planes, and cube-inspired visual patterns. Through texture, repetition, and bold compositional movement, the works invite viewers into spaces that feel both playful and introspective.
Influenced by abstract expressionism, surrealism, and psychedelic art, Petrenko draws inspiration from artists such as Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso while developing a distinctly contemporary visual approach. His paintings explore the intersection of imagination, subconscious emotion, and symbolic form, allowing color and structure to guide the emotional experience of the work.
Working on canvas, paper, and cardboard, the artist combines traditional painting materials with dimensional textures and experimental surfaces, creating contemporary mixed media artworks with strong visual presence and tactile depth.
Pavel Petrenko’s paintings resonate with collectors drawn to contemporary abstract art, expressive portraiture, and psychedelic-inspired compositions that bring movement, color, and layered visual energy into modern interiors and curated art collections.

Marina Tristan
Marina is a photographer working primarily in portraiture and self-portraiture.
Her work is inspired by an exploration of the feminine principle and its relationship with both the external world and the inner world of the individual. These images cannot be fully expressed through words; they emerge at the intersection of the conscious and the unconscious, where intuition plays a role no less important than professional skill.
She is also deeply inspired by nature, whose pure beauty and vibrant colors form an inseparable part of existence and remain a constant source of creative influence in her work.
Marina often works with colored light in the studio, using a variety of visual effects to enhance the drama of the image and its emotional impact. Every artistic choice serves a common purpose - to deepen the image and strengthen its visual expression.
An important part of her creative process is the creation of original props, including sets, jewelry, masks, and costume elements. Many of these are handmade by Marina herself, bringing together photography, design, and decorative arts within her work.
