About The Artwork

This is probably the most tender work I've done in a while. In general, in my drawings, I constantly balance between tenderness and something frightening. Very often I try on different aspects of our life to the cosmic eternity. And then these aspects begin to acquire a completely different value. There comes an epiphany that we are living right now, not yesterday or tomorrow. After all, we humans have no eternity. Even eternity may not have eternity. For sure, we only have "now". And I wanted to capture the dissolving, disappearing into eternity, not eternal lovers. No matter how much they love, eternity will take them away from each other. And all they have is a moment of "now" in which they can love, they can touch each other, they can melt into each other. I know that being aware of future loss and the finiteness of love is incredibly painful. But it is this awareness that can help us, lost in the daily routine, remember how valuable this feeling is for us. And do not put off love for later. Do not put off the desire to touch and hug for later. Do not put off important words for later. After all, eternity can come for us at any time.

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.
