Creativity of Inna Kolomiets is vary and multifaceded. She created a huge gallery of portraits of her contemporants, interesting staged compositioins, little form sculptures, medals. She is owner of projects of monuments for towns and villages of republic.

Any material obeys her hands. One of them are made with pottery, others with wood, bronze, granite depending of plastic and containing. She is good at art sculpture, but she always care about plastic form not like about own target. For Kolomiec flexible form at first is like tool for showing image and spiritual people` life.

Inna always interested about : art vs society, art vs time, art vs personality. But the biggest thing she`d like to understand 0 chfracter and the beauty of someone.

On formation of personality Kolomiec was under a big effect of athmosfere of art life.

Inna always spoke about her teachers with love and respect,exactlier about L. Muravin, F. Krichevsky , professore Gelman and Elevf

Extremely advantagable for artist was connection with processes in country, in world. In the family of old comuniste Anton Kolomiets, one of the Kiev plant director always talked about country` success, stahanov route, Papanin expedition to the North polus, Chkalov` flights, about republicain Spain, about everthing by what rhe counry lived after war.

Inna came to art soon as the war ended. Seemed that she, war woman that were thrown to Berlin would be kept by own imagination. In Reality it was opposite. To war she backed few years later when the time distance would premise to considerate under everything overlived by people.

After that Kolomiec gives herself completely for the peacefull times theme.

Big importance in her life took education at Architecture Academy of USSR, connecting with many famous architectures of republic- Zabolotny, Elizarov, Katonin, Aseev,

Learning of folk architecture and connected folk art, conesence with folkl artists that worked at experimental workshop at Architecture Academy.- Fedorova, Vlasenko, Zheleznyakov. She is inspired by optimism of folk legends, flaming humour of “Eneida”, folk trraditions.

In summer 1958 sculptor showed her works at personal group exhibition, which was attended by Kolomiec` generation` artists Barinova and Morozova.

She presented for overview of fanats of the art little, made with mayolica “fable” compositions.

In 50th in soviet sculpture was a strong tradition to describe , to show courage ideal, was met a very short therm of realism. That is why seemed very frash a little Kolomiec tales, which were used to transfer her understanding of reality and individual personality. Art critics wrote about those works that they are missunderstandable in way of decorative sculpture. Their inside world was so spaceous and difficult that the were disable to be understood only as smth pretty, smth additional to smth much bigger. But less they were seemed like routine sculpture. Their unnormous weight, that flows unstoppably were unconnected with classic of genre. Everything semmed to be an invitation to new world, that was opening in her plastic Inna Kolomiec.

Works from exhibition showed that Inna reached the target – reaching the union of plot and shape, innovating of intensive colors.

In that time she received one another victory. The competitive project of triumphal arc honored for 300 years of unition of Ukraine and Russia made by group of artists and architectures under courating of academic Zaolotni. In Khmelnitsky she received first cash-reward for the same project.

Art of Inna Kolomiec is in the move whole time. Looks like she doesn`t keep her gots, even recent. By every new sculpture she disapprove everything that was before. She is headed by selfunpleasing and disliking of everything that was in her art. Seems that only that things are usual.

But the love to beauty is continuously presented. Wish to see, discover and give a life to everything beautiful is felt in evrery work. Maybe that is why she doesn`t have any thing that could be classified as horrible. They are all beautiful in own way.

World understanding, where Kolomiec takes her ideas is important part of understanding of her beauty. The beauty is showed in plastic. Inna is a good painter. She feels a lilne very carefuly and straight, siluet, she can be very correct to the details and to see whole leaf simultaneously. She loves a color and add it in majority of her compositions. She can experiment forever, trying to reach the top of color, correct, glazering..

However the mainest and the most loved thing in art for her is the shape of sculpture. Right here she tried to reach the highest resolution that can only be in plastic.

Maybe realy hot that feel became at begin of 60th. She started to travel at that time. Inna` art was changing from travel to travel and from style to style. But not only because of appearing new plots and images, picturing new travel souvenirs and surely not because of close connesence with new art schools, with plastic systems of Egypt sculpture or japoneese calligraphy , however she learns them. Main thing in travelling – new plastic targets, which Inna aimed and new decisions that she took to reach them.

Maybe in travelling she found a feel of distance, that remove her, and thi view from side is that most important that brings to every true artist from travellin through the world.

Inna Kolomiec thinks that the language of contemporary plastic appears as result after understanding everything that is known in all national art schools and this is the way of true internationalism.

But in loud, full of wishes stream of searching of styles Inna Kolomiec looks for smth connected to her plastic style, that make her truth truly . So, however themes and plots of art changes through the time, however the feels she felt Inna keeps saving unbeakable union iside.
