Yatom Yana

Hello,

My name is Yana Rumenova, also known as Yatom Yana. I am a Bulgarian multidisciplinary artist working across different environments and contexts.

My practice moves between drawing, painting, installation, textile work, muralism, and body-based practices, understanding each medium as part of an evolving system rather than a fixed discipline. I develop processes that adapt to the environment, the available materials, and the experiences shaping each moment.

My work unfolds as multi-layered, open scenarios where different states—visible and invisible, material and energetic, organic and structural—coexist and transform. Through fragmentation, layering, and rhythm, I create compositions that function as spaces to be explored rather than fixed images.

The body, landscape, memory, sound, and perception appear as interconnected elements within these systems. I work through observation and presence, often incorporating found and recycled materials, treating each element as a carrier of its own history.

My practice is rooted in intuition but also in a conscious search for connection—with the environment, with natural rhythms, and with expanded forms of perception. Creating becomes a way of navigating, reorganizing, and making sense of experience, opening space for dialogue, interaction, and reinterpretation.

I am always open to collaborations, projects, and research processes driven by curiosity, exchange, and shared exploration.
