About The Artwork

I very often catch a strange vibe from the realization that our atoms were once stars. It's completely surreal! We were the stars. We were in the burning hearts of unimaginable-sized balls hanging in a space about which we don't know anything until the end. In all seriousness. Our brain, our mind-everything originated there. We were all these grains of sand, burning in the dark. At such moments, the reality before my eyes begins to crack at the seams and tries to fall apart. What a strange place we are in.

Hi!My name is Anita Crystaleva. I draw the ghosts of humanity in a dying universe. All my life I am looking for an answers to the questions: what is it to be a human and why do we exist? What will be left of humanity when the world is gone? What is the cosmic value of what we live, feel, and die? Are there any particles in the universe that will preserve the memory of us? My drawings are a fantasy about such particles. Surreal unstable ghosts of our experience of lives, our feelings, our technological achievements, momentarily visualized in this huge stream of memory particles of the universe seconds before its death. The goal of my art is to allow people to feel the full horror of the grandiose unknowable greatness of the universe and, drowning in this feeling, ask themselves "What is really valuable to me?" The formation of me as a person and as an artist was influenced by two things: The first is that I have been an atheist since I was 14 years old. I can't help it, I can't think otherwise. And I'm very afraid of death. On this side, my drawings are a lonely cry into a pitiless void that will take me and everything I hold dear. Second , I was raised by my mother, who always wanted to die as soon as possible. And she still wants it. On this side, my drawings are a reminder that there will be no second life and that every moment is now a value in itself. If you want to learn more about my vision, how I draw and what I reflect on, I blog on instagram. I will always be happy to talk to you.
