"Georginiya" is one of the paintings in the "Be a Lady"series
Nowadays
society expects women to fullfil several roles in the same time. Because of
this, sometimes we do not understand what we really want and which of our
desires are imposed from outside.
In “Flower
ladies” series, I create image of a woman liberated from social masks, depict
her inner world – vulnerable, sensitive, tender, delicate like a flower.
With my
works I want to say to a woman that she is much more beautiful then she thinks
she is. That her inner world is precious. I want her self-respect to be an
integral part of her life. I intend to wake women up, want them to remember
about their strength, their power, their energy.
I used
pastels and velvet paper for this series. These mediums possess maximum
tactility, which allows me to enhance the realism of an image, highlight luxury
of the apparels and recreate velvety texture of the flowers, make them almost
tangible.
