LOVE, PUDDINGTON Collage

Hello! I was born and live in Siberia. The weather is severe and the people are serious, with a big heart, here. The soul that hides under the many roles, masks, and costumes we wear has wonderful virtues. From birth, we are all creators, you just have to try! And of course, we can learn! On the second university degree, I am a psychologist. Psychology helped me to understand myself. It seems to me that it helped me to look and see, to listen and hear, to follow my own feelings! After all, psychology and art are a dialogue of understanding. My new story has just begun! All that was before remained in the past seasons of this beautiful series "Such a wonderful life". I worked in serious structures, but I was always engaged in creativity. At some point, I realized that I just can't be doing without it… This is the case when you do your own thing, not even because you want to, but simply because you can't not be doing it. And in every picture – a piece of me, my love for life, my inner colours, shades and halftones. I make them in the language of the soul, I make them with my hands, I feel their smells in me, I think about them, even when I sleep, I feel their taste on my lips! This is happiness! And I want to share this happiness with you! All my works are full of energy that you will definitely feel, full of a smile that (I know for sure) will appear on your lips! In 2021 I created a series of works "BURDEN", which is united by my heroes. All of them are successful, they had great influence on art, on our hearts, on time. But at the same time, they all lost so much (or deliberately sacrificed) on their way. I wanted to show that it is impossible to do something truly significant, without paying for it! And under the external beauty there are often many more different colors and shades. All my works are multi-layered and multi-valued. They are filled with meanings that are not always noticeable at first glance. Put the picture at a different angle to the light, let the sun illuminate it differently - and you will see what was invisible at first! It can be an inscription on the edge of the canvas, or a material and technique that gives a link to something important. I prefer using the Mixed Media technique in my work. To work in mixed media is to have the freedom to use different materials and sometimes combine the incompatible.
