FENSTER & PORTRÄTS – Ausstellung von Svetlana Petrasch

In the organizer's words:

WINDOWS & PORTRAITS - Exhibition by Svetlana Petrasch

Faces have fascinated Svetlana Petrasch since she was a child. She spent hours looking at portraits in magazines and putting them on paper. Over time, she developed a passion for making not only facial features but also emotions visible. "The eyes are the mirror of the soul," she says - and what are the windows then? Perhaps the soul of the house.

So a few years ago, she also started painting windows. On an evening stroll through familiar or new alleyways, she looks in, imagines the people who live there and transforms her impressions into pictures. For her, windows are like reflections of people - each one tells its own story, its own little life.

The artist was born in Penza, Russia, studied classical painting and art education (1994-1999) and worked for many years as a freelance painter in Russia - mainly in the field of portrait and mural painting. One particular project took her to the vicinity of Moscow, where she was involved for several years in the mural design of a monastery church in the style of classical icons.

Svetlana Petrasch has lived in Dresden since 2019, where she works as a commissioned painter and art teacher. Her works - from portraits and landscapes to large-scale murals - are characterized by a positive, colourful view of the world.

From November 5 to December 4, 2025, the FULL MOON GALLERY, the art space of the Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e. V. at Hechtstraße 17, will be showing a selection from Svetlana Petrasch's FENSTER & PORTRÄTS series.
