SVITLA
Thread Painting Artist
Master of Reality Creation

"Threads of meanings" is my special art project.
I “paint with threads”, weave meanings from them.
This is my personal surrealism.
Not self-citation, but a way of life.

Threads for me are not just a material for creating a new creative work.
Technically, yes, this is – Thread Painting.
But the essence and meanings of this process and what is created as a result – are important. Each creative work – for me – is like turning a screw for consciousness. The twist is inevitable: this is shamanism. Threads – for me – are Threads of Meanings that are woven into a new, newly realized reality. A new reality, a new me in it, new meanings.

You can draw not only with paints or pencils. You can make great sand paintings or even put them together from different things. In my works I embroider with author's satin stitch - I draw with threads. It's easy if you feel that this is exactly your material. But this is also a real unusual mystical and even magical process.


It all starts with the desire to transform reality into something new, better and brighter. Desire brings the idea of the plot. A graphic form of this idea emerges and, in parallel, all this is overgrown with signs that appear (either in reality or in the subconscious), which, like puzzles, interlock with each other and lead this idea to realization.

The same thing happens with commissioned paintings that are created for another “owner of desires”. After all, we all want to realize something in our lives and it does not always depend only on our efforts. Sometimes you just need to face reality. Shaman. Reach another level of interaction with the world.


I noticed that I can do this not only for myself, but also for others.


I like to embroider portraits. The one who is depicted is both a subject and an object in interaction with the world. It's so complicated, but it works. The subject is the one who transforms the original reality, filling it with new content. The object itself is transformed under the influence of a new reality, transforming and changing.


Therefore, it is very important that the customer himself has his own (important for him) goal-desire. I'm starting to work with this movement. And then - miracles just happen, because what appears in the work as an environment for a portrait (the environment in which it fits) manifests itself. It can be seemingly simple color motifs. It may seem so from the outside, but not inside. Inside, they have “meanings sewn in.”

And this is one of the main points that I understood when my passion for “drawing with threads” completely captured me, I sew meanings. This is the main thing.


The first name of my project took shape for me in the name “Threads of Meanings”.


If I depict animals, then these are also symbols of very significant movements for me. For example, I really love Dragons, noble mystical creatures that exist regardless of whether someone believes in them or not.


A large role in my work is given to the Vedic theme. Or - it is rather my inner understanding of it, in the images of Saraswati, Ganesha, Hanuman or meditating Devas (the last series of my works is dedicated to them).


In order to get the protection of Ganapati, you need a little - look into his smiling eyes and turn to him with all your heart. And then just watch your life amazingly change for the better. May his protection and blessings always be with you.


Do you have a desire to transform your reality into a better one?


I can help it manifest itself and weave the threads of the meanings of your transformation.
