Hanna Vershynina
I was born 10 april 1984 in Chernihiv.
Since early childhood I was fond of art and painting, and the application of these ideas in life. I studied at the Art School in Chernihiv where I became interested in the art of textiles. In 2002 I entered the M.Boychuk Kyiv State Institute of Crafts and Design to study textile arts under the tutelage of Marta Bazak.
Member of the Union of Artists of Ukraine.
I participated in all-Ukrainian exhibitions (Kyiv, Chernihiv, Odesa and Kharkiv); the international exhibition of mini-textiles (Kherson); the international exhibition "Emdracing our differences 2009" in Florida, USA. I had two personal exhibitions: Fulbright Centre in 2009, Chernihiv Art Museum in 2010. I work in different weaving techniques: plain, pile, texture. Along with wool threads I use other materials, such as grass stalks, sisal.
I'm attracted by nature motives: plants, trees, birds, mountains, woods, changes in nature... The colors of nature are very rich and diverse. Color plays a very important part in making a tapestry. Colors, just like people, change, often compete with each other, sometimes contrast, sometimes harmonize. In my works, I mostly employ a subdued color spectrum. I love to unite cool, gray-blue colors with ochre.
