Kate Buryakova

My name is Kate Buryakova, I'm a Russian artist currently working on my Master's degree at Ulster University in Belfast. Classical style shaped my artistic foundation, however, I strongly believe that each person has its own unique reflection on art. After completing my BA at National Design Institute in Moscow I am currently expanding my artistic skills in video-art. 

 

My main task as an artist is to create my own myths and fables and give them modern reading. The images of people and animals in ancient texts are eloquent and meaningful to this day. They reveal the archetypal problems of society and make readers think about the problems of individuals and communities. Many folk stories from different countries are similar to each other or reveal one topic, which proves the similarity of residents of different parts of the world in their views, problems, happiness, sadness, their hopes and their despair. 

 

In my works, I create a circular non-linear world. Objects change from one to the other and undergo a transformation of their external and internal qualities like a storytelling line, even if mediums change according to the idea of transformation.
