Rada Yakova is a Holland based visual artist. She moved to Vienna 2000, where she studied graphic design and advertising at the University of Applied Arts. With her diploma she won an award for creative know-how from Scholz and Friends-Zurich. 2009 she decided to focus exclusively on her artistic work. Rada produced numerous exhibitions and workshops while developing her artistic practice.
She builds her paintings up through layers of freehand emotional brushstrokes. She works intuitively and with lots of emotion.
The main goal of her artworks has not been just creating paintings in beautiful shapes and colours, rather creating works of art, which reflect and show a certain stand in society.
Her latest work was presented in Museum of History, Bulgaria and during Venice Biennale 2019. Rada Yakova is shortlisted in Stelijk Museum for 2020.
