Yana Payusova
Yana Payusova was born in 1970 in Leningrad in the former USSR. She later immigrated to the United States and received her MFA at the University of Colorado. Her work is shown around the world. Her paintings show inside the life and fears of former USSR. She painted her figures like cartoons, only instead of showing fun childlike images, they show dark images of the life she remembers as a child growing up in the USSR. The paintings prove to be somewhat autobiographical and many showcase different memories she had growing up. The images use a combination of russian icons, comics and illistrations.
