ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The right side of the image shows Sigmund Freud, with a contemplative expression, suggesting he is observing or analyzing the chaotic scene in front of him. The central area features a looping train with windows, possibly symbolizing the journey through different thoughts, memories, or stages of the subconscious mind. Various ladders connect the different elements, suggesting a climb or exploration of the mind's layers. Around the train are numerous human figures involved in surreal, dream-like scenarios: people interacting with peculiar machines, dancing, and performing tasks that seem symbolic of unconscious desires and repressed thoughts. The entire scene feels mechanical and maze-like, implying that the mind is a complex machine driven by various forces, while the multiple windows, frames, and figures create a sense of voyeurism or self-reflection, as though one is looking inward. The monochromatic, pencil-drawn style gives the image a sense of psychological depth and reflection, fitting for a subject like Freud and his theories on the mind and dreams. This artwork is rich in symbolism and could be interpreted as a visual representation of Freud's ideas on the unconscious, dreams, and the complexity of human psychology.

Olga Madiar is a Ukrainian artist specializing in colored graphics and black-and-white drawings in pencil and ink on paper. Madiar's works are distinguished by their fine detail and the use of black-and-white contrasts. She employs fine pens and meticulous linework to create her pieces with great precision. Through this technique, she seeks to capture the multi-layered nature of human experience and offer the viewer a fresh perspective. Olga Madiar draws inspiration for her art from the curious and unusual aspects of everyday life. She observes the world around her and interprets it by presenting seemingly ordinary scenes in a new context. As a result, her works are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry deeper meanings. An important aspect of Madiar's work is its critical perspective on society. She questions existing norms and conventions, often depicting them with a touch of irony in her graphics. In doing so, she encourages the viewer to reflect on social and political issues and consider them from a new angle. In addition, Olga addresses philosophical themes in her art. Her works invite the viewer to contemplate fundamental questions of life and human existence. She uses symbolic elements and visual metaphors to convey abstract concepts and create a connection between art and philosophy. In 2005, she participated in the international competition "Illustrators of the Future" in Hollywood (USA), where she became a winner. After a long period of treatment for her daughter’s leukemia and the resulting mental health struggles, she redoubled her efforts and continued her work with renewed strength.
