Aleksandra Kovaleva

Hello.
My name is Aleksandra.
I work with painting.
You can consider it as my protest.

Painting is not a “medium” for me.
My works are the only way for me to communicate and interact with the world around me and myself as well. Its a visual language, which, in contrast to a poor verbal language, gives me the opportunity to really express what I want to say, what I’m afraid to say, and nevertheless – what am finally saying, regardless of whether my message reaches you in its original or modified form.

The goal of all my works is the co-creation of the author with the audience, of me and you. Therefore, I do not want to drag visual images into a verbal context. I want to finish the game “what the author wanted to say” as much as possible, leaving the viewer a field for interpretation, because the moment of creation, the moment of art for me – is somewhere between the picture and the viewers eyes.
You can consider it as my research.
