Vitaliya Repina is an optical mixed media artist. She uses combinations of various organic and inorganic materials along with geometric patterns to create illustrations, paintings, and a combination of the two. Often times, her work involves vibrant natural and feminine elements. Her signature fractal design is a geometric pattern that acts as an optical illusion. Originally a European immigrant, Vita has always been drawn to nature and its ability to not only to heal and rejuvenate, but also to bring people together. She has a degree in environmental management in agriculture and natural resources from the University of Florida in Gainesville, and currently resides in the Tampa Bay Area. Vita often preforms as a live painter and is currently open to commission projects.
Statement
Through art, we can continue to stay connected to the natural world, from which so much originates. It is my goal to change the viewers perspective towards not only art and the environment, but also themselves. How we see the world around us influences how we interact with the living things within it. Art can be the bridge between nature and self if we allow it.
