Today we’d like to introduce you to Yana Pidorvan.
Yana, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am an architect from Ukraine. After coming here,in Georgia more than 10 years ago I fall in love with local Southern style and started making art in chebby chic,Victorian, Southern style. I adore repurposing things and giving new life to old,forgotten or heirloom pieces. I am making jewelry, greeting cards,ornaments and other small home decor.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting a new life in new country using another language is newer easy but interesting! It is such a blessing to have an opportunity to check yourself in new environment and create another, totally different kind of life then you had before. It is a challenge but I is so fascinating, is not it?
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am making jewelry, greeting cards, ornaments and other small home decor. My main passion is giving new life to the broken,forgotten or heirloom pieces. Also I like collaboration with another artist. For example turning painting or urban sketches to the piece of jewelry. I newer make the same. Even if I have the same parts and pieces I will find the way how to make it in a little bit but different way.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
I adore historical vibe and beautiful old architecture. It is a great mix of different cultures! Also I like this feeling of speed and pulse of big city! This city is renovating fast but still has a lot of abandoned areas. Also it is not enough public spaces, as parks, embankment and so on.
