In these selected paintings, Ekaterina Popova explores nature through memory, travel, and experiences both in the wilderness and cozy environments. Through her artwork, she reflects on the concept of healing and finding a safe place, fostering a bond with nature. The expressive and sometimes abstract brush strokes depict foliage, plants, and forests, with occasional hints of human presence in the form of a window, fence, or door. Ekaterina hopes her works encourage viewers to pause, feel grounded and present, and find safety and belonging by reflecting on positive memories, places, and moments in their lives.
