This incredible contemporary artist has a voice of her own, which is quite evident in her paintings. She is rising as a trailblazer in the world of sustainable artworks.
The more one talks about a few highly driven founders, artists, and other professionals and how they carve out their niche in their chosen industry, all on their own, the more one feels compelled to share their journeys with the world, so that their genius may be known. In the world of the arts, it can be a bigger challenge to stand apart from the rest. However, paintings and art pieces of a few contemporary artists have spoken for themselves; such has been the impact of their work on society. Ekaterina Stolyarova has been one such artist to create beauty with an eco-friendly brush.
Ekaterina Stolyarova is one of the rare names in the art world who has been redefining it in multiple ways through her impressive work. She stands out because each of her art pieces has a voice of its own, something that has also defined her incredible work as an artist. The award-winning artist loves blending creativity and sustainability, a significant factor that has propelled her forward in the industry. This has led to proving that art can be both visually stunning and environmentally responsible.
In a world where few artists pay attention to the ‘bigger picture’ of environmental challenges, Ekaterina is not only aware of them but also embodies eco-conscious creativity in her work. Born in one of Russia’s polluted regions, her lifelong connection to nature and deep concern for the planet have shaped her worldview and artistic mission. Today, she is an internationally recognized name known for her visual talent and commitment to creating art that speaks to the soul and respects the earth.
Her creative work goes beyond aesthetics, gently urging a sense of responsibility and highlighting the possibility for beauty and care to coexist. She reflects on how her passion for art took root in her childhood, when simple scenes of daily life—such as cold winter nights, glowing windows, and birch trees in fields—ignited her imagination. However, growing up in an area affected by air pollution and environmental neglect stirred a deepening desire to safeguard the natural world and its remaining beauty.
The emotional connection she felt with the earth led her to specialize in eco-friendly art. This discipline requires as much care in selecting materials as it does in mastering the technique. Keeping sustainability at the core, she carefully chooses every canvas, every pigment, and every brushstroke. By using natural dyes and recycled paper, she helps her creations be unique and mindful of the planet, encouraging a growing shift toward sustainable practices among both emerging and established artists worldwide.
All this and more have led Ekaterina Stolyarova to receive multiple honours and recognitions throughout her career thus far. She is a proud member of prestigious organizations, including the Portrait Society of America, the American Artists Professional League, the Union of Russian Artists, the Russian American Cultural Centre, the Long Island Museum Artists, and the Long Island City Artists. Her art was exhibited at the Long Island Museum. She won several art contests, namely the Best Abstract Art, 1st place prize, Fine Art America, Heavenly Images – 1st place prize, Fine Art America, Top 20 paintings & other media artists, Light, Space & Time online art gallery, “Emerging Artists” competition and online art exhibition, finalist award, Blue Space gallery, received an Honorable Mention for her artwork ‘Shaded Solitude’ at The Art Guild of Port Washington’s juried exhibition ‘Abstract Realms’ in December 2024 and is also the participant of many exhibitions, including Art on Paper New York, ArtExpo New York and Art Basel Miami. Additionally, she participated in Art Basel Week in Miami this past December. She had the honor of being part of three shows during the week: Context, Red Dot, and Aqua.
Another aspect that sets Ekaterina Stolyarova apart is her dedication to eco-conscious practices. She strives to draw inspiration from nature, reflecting its beauty and fragility through her paintings and artwork. She believes that art has the potential to inspire environmental awareness and change. Additionally, she is passionate about encouraging the next generation of artists to explore natural materials and sustainable methods, while still allowing their creativity to thrive.
