TURNING BASIC SPRAY PAINTS INTO A DYNAMIC VISUAL JOURNEY
the art of chromatic layering
The Glow Beneath the Surface
My work explores tangible, luminous depth, crafted through layered spray paint and textured surfaces. Each piece unfolds through a process of experimentation, patience, and refinement. Using only basic colors, I build multi-dimensional works that are both visually and physically engaging — each one entirely unique in its concept. Every artwork has its own personalized story – a reflection of the emotions and moments that inspired it. These stories are written down for you on each product page, offering a glimpse into the depth of each piece. I hope you enjoy the journey and find one that truly speaks to you.
The Technique
With simple spray paints, I arrange and combine colors in a three-dimensional, overlapping manner, creating the works that are rich in color and movement.
What makes it special
The layers of texture and color form a luminous, multi-dimensional effect that draws you in, almost as if light itself is sculpting the layers, revealing new depth with every angle.
Inspiration and Purpose
Layering reflects the soul’s complexity, tracing the accumulation of experience and emotion. My work gives form to this depth, revealing the quiet evolution within.
The Halo Collection
This ongoing collection marks a shift in my approach: the textures now have a fluid, almost liquid quality, as if frozen mid-motion. This interplay between fluidity and resistance mirrors our inner strength, a force that remains constant even in stillness.
For me "The Halo" is not just an art collection; it’s a personal journey of finding light in the midst of a world that often feels overwhelming. With everything happening around us, it’s easy to become consumed by negativity, to lose hope. The concept of the "halo" in this collection is not religious or spiritual, it’s a visual metaphor for the inner strength that we sometimes forget we have — strength that can illuminate the way forward, even in the most challenging moments. Through this collection, I hope you’re reminded to slow down, embrace your inner calm, and recognize that even amidst chaos, there’s always light to help you navigate your path.
Affordable Art Project
These smaller pieces are my way of making art accessible to everyone. If you connect with my work, I want you to be able to take a piece of it home.
I hope to keep this initiative alive and continue sharing my passion
These pieces are selling fast, but pre-orders are open — just note, each handmade item will slightly differ from the photos
About me
Hello! I am Yana, a contemporary artist based in Hamburg, Germany. Before I entered the art field, I spent 7 years building an accomplished career in tech, convinced it was my dream. However, over time, I grew increasingly tired of ignoring my creative side. Finally, after a few tragic life-changing events, I recognized how short life is and made the bold decision to embrace the art I had always kept suppressed.
My background taught me how to observe, measure, and build with precision. In my art, this translates into creating intricate layers of spray-painted colors, pushing boundaries to achieve new, rich effects and multidimensional works. Every piece I create is painted with standard paints, yet my distinct layering process forms a luminous, multi-chromatic effect. My art is a deeply personal journey, with each piece inspired by a particular feeling or moment in my life. My hope is that these artworks resonate with you, sparking introspection and a deeper appreciation for the stories we all carry.
