My
art explores the overarching theme of an individual: a soul within
herself, within society, within the world.
The
figure is the center of interest in my paintings, surrounded by
abstract background or the elusive world. It can be a figure of a
person or a demon – the image of a human being embodying
emotions and thoughts (as in Vrubel). With this research I am
gradually assembling a general image of my Contemporary.
I
work with language of expressive poses, bright colors, the
combination of textures. I use mixed media and various techniques. I
believe that each material has its own dramatic intonation which I
use as an abstract component of my work. This abstraction provides
the space for individual associations. This is what completes my
artistic statement and makes the dialogue with the beholder genuine.
"Militsioner"
Keen
to understand the world through the person, I have been trying to
capture the key feelings that fill the life of my Contemporary, that
fill my life. Fear, anxiety, inability to feel safe. When I see
a policeman in my home country I know – there goes an enemy. I
shrink inside and look away. This feeling, this fear makes the world
around me fragile, trembling. It cuts me out from the society and
reality like these impasto strokes on the painting cut through the
tissue of the street, tearing it into pieces that don't make sense
any more.
