Shana Danilyants’ inspiration comes from deep inside. Rather than choose her
subjects, she allows them to choose her. Painting objects and scenes that
evoke an emotion in her, she draws upon her memories and experiences to
provide her with subjects.
Shana was born in 1967 in the town of Fergana-city, Uzbekistan in the former
Soviet Union. She studied art at the Benkoff Art College, in Tashkent-city,
graduating in 1984 as a scenic artist. Later on, she studied at the Ostrosky
State University of Fine Art in Tashkent-city, graduating as an artist of TV
and cinema. In 1999, Shana and her family moved to Canada, where they
continue to reside today.
As a child Shana was always drawing and painting, but she never aspired to
become a full-time artist: her career found her. Even now she finds it
difficult to think of herself as a successful artist. Because of this,
discussing her work with her can prove to be challenging, as she is still
very much in awe of her own success.
Fortunately, despite being a little overwhelmed by how things have naturally
unfolded, she still is very stimulated and inspired to continue to creating
art. Preferring to work with oils and acrylics, Shana enjoys experimenting
with new media, always open to seeing what can be rather than what is.
Shana’s work is represented by Artists Of The World located at 514 11 Avenue
SW, Calgary.
