About The Artwork
Antonio Canova’s "Three Graces" was the initial inspiration for this work. I had an ideal model, Katya, who seemed the very embodiment of Canova’s aesthetic. Although I had decided to make my own composition, but using the same figures with their original gestures, after I began to put Katya in the same poses for the outline sketches, I soon realized that I wanted to rotate the figures. I kept them with the same poses that Antonio Canova’s sculptural composition had given them, but changed their places. The result was this drawing on the large canvas. I depicted but one girl, Katya, in three poses playing with Web Browsers. I have included Safari, Chrome,Mozilla Firefox, Edge, and a special tool for catching Pokémon, and one orange placed in the girl's hand. Next I positioned the canvas horizontally and began to spill paint on it. These Web Browsers have to explode with color! My intention here was to show the power of Internet through the energy of the paint. Later, as the background was put in, the predominant thought was of the symbolic meaning of the Three Graces.

As an artist, I am exploring the Lost Paradise myth with all its beauty, violence and liberation. I blend our new icons of mass-produced toys, computer-game heroes and social net symbols with the meta-narratives seen in different Mythologies. In addition to Classical Mythology, I draw ideas from other traditions, for instance, ancient civilization in South America, as described by Levi-Strauss. These too may be juxtaposed with the contemporary PokemonGo game. Such a blending poses the question as to whether the modern world offers construction in decolonial processes or a new form of exploitation? The Gods and Heroes of ancient mythology have mutated and are now embodied in the virtual-reality of computer games. These have become the new fetishes of mass-culture and have assumed their new "flesh" in the plastic of commercial toys. Thus I am contriving an evolution of this subject-matter, and it is this that comprises my interpretation and representation of modern History Painting. As media for my art practice, I use traditional oil painting, but also experiment, to a considerable extent in a modernist way, by mixing different solvents and raw materials; using these to create texture as a distinctive background, an empty stage for my future figurative paintings.
