Galerie Blue Square : galerie d'art russe contemporaine - contemporary russian art gallery - Paris

Yana Bystrova was born in 1966 in Kiev, Ukraine, and has lived and worked in Paris since 1991. She graduated from the Kiev School of Fine Arts and from the Kiev Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture  (Department of Monumental Art).  The artist has exhibited in Kiev, Moscow, Helsinki, London and Paris and was a member of the artist group Resolute Edge of Voluntary Border for a National Post-Eclectism from 1987 - 1990. As a member of this group, Bystrova spent several years working at the legendary Moscow studios of Furmanny Lane. The focus of her work today revolves around the ambiguity of perception. She bases her studies on the ever-present competition between the conscious and subliminal (structured vs. spontaneous, rational vs. emotional), which in turn, requires interaction with the viewer in the form of active interpretation. 
She works with different media including painting, photography, multimedia and design.
