Why do you want to live?
For everything—the sun, love, animals, music, the mountains, poetry, hugs, the people I love… life is the greatest gift we receive, with all its joys and sorrows.
Do you want to get to know yourself?
Always! The journey inward toward myself is my newest favorite destination.
Do you like how the world is going?
Here I can’t help quoting Antoine de Saint-Exupéry—though his last letter (written in 1944 to a friend) is a bit dark, it reminds us that in our search for the spiritual there is still light:
“I am ill. Gravely. Because of my generation, which has been emptied of all human substance.
A generation that has known, as its only form of spiritual life, bars, mathematics, and luxury cars.
Today it is caught up in pure herd-like activity. It has lost all color—you cannot distinguish it by anything.
Consider the wars of a hundred years ago. Think how much effort was made to slake the spiritual, the poetic, or the simple thirst for humanity.
Today, when we are dried out like bricks, we sneer at such naïvetés.
Uniforms, flags, songs, music, victories—there are no victories anymore; nothing today has poetry. There is only digestion—slow or fast.
Any lyricism sounds ridiculous.
People refuse to be awakened to any form of spiritual life. They conscientiously perform something like conveyor-belt work.
In my time a man dies of thirst.
I feel we are heading into the darkest of times.
For me, the only hope is that spirituality be returned to people…”
Her mission
Yana’s mission is to be in harmony with herself and the world while bringing joy to others. She seeks to inspire and offer comfort through her creations, believing that the journey toward self-discovery is lifelong. With each piece she creates, she encourages people to be more present, to embrace beauty, and to find their own spiritual rhythm.
Part of the Tribe
In our tribe, Yana is a messenger of presence, beauty, and spirituality. She reminds us that true success is not measured but felt in the heart. That happiness is simply being here and now. That home is not just a physical space but a state of inner peace.
