ABOUT THE ARTWORK

“Dance for Pina” – these works have been inspired by dance pieces of great dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch, who created style, known as tranztheater. For the first time I saw recording of her works in Paris, in the centre Pompidou. It was amazing, such beautiful and unusual… I visited that show many times with only reason – to see her work. On the first stage of her performances she puts human character, in her compositions choreographer drawing continuing human personality, - and that fascinates. So, I did these works , keeping in mind Pina Bausch pieces of dance, I did them - for fantastic Pina, whom I have never ever met in my life. “Dance for Pina”

Painting comes in easy way — one trifle meets a trick, a Rube Goldberg machine starts a chain reaction, like a reaction on some vaccine, and it goes on and on. So I’m starting to realize that if I’ll change something once again, then I get a brand new work, for which, perhaps, I already have a new meaning and new canvas. This mechanism runs by my presence — a common story for all the artists. But still it all has a great meaning — the smell, the sound, the state, the color of the walls, the air — and when all this substances focus on me, the work emerges, lives, breathes. __________________________________________________________________ Obviously I see an impression itself as a fundament of all my works — an emotion, a feeling — light and color as a key elements of its translation, transmission, interpretation. So — long live art (its eyes my eyes) — the thing is about a child’s memory from an ancient times, this light-color addiction of me. ___________________________________________________________________ An arched-shaped bridge appears in front of my eyes — green waters flicker with unimaginable shades of shimmering reflections — material and non-existing forms obscure each other — overlap, grow, disappear, renew. Somewhere in the golden ratio’s zone, in the alluring prospect under the tiny arch, there is a renowned “starting point” — oh so many coats layered! — but it’s just another subject to be discussed. Discovering yourself for yourself is something absolutely fascinating — and I think it can be called simply a desire to be. __________________________________________________________________ This “Being” — a place on notional map existing primarily as a cultural situation, that, on it’s turn, consists of traditions, authorities, relevancies and compliances. This map means a feeling of your time and your part in it — let it be an imaginary part. Under certain circumstances this red dot — a place, a pin, a mark — it can really move the mountain. __________________________________________________________________ It's about "self dog philosophy" — I'm working on understanding of global concepts, such as Fidelity, Virtue, Eternity, Future etcetera, and on a reflection of this enormous "volumes” in dog’s eyes. Basically, any creature can take the place of this animal, but I confess — dogs find a special response in my soul. Alina Maksimenko from interview for newspaper “Vusokiy Zamok”, October 2012
