ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Fertility Ability to procreate and regenerate. Fertility. Birth of a new life. Anticipation and expectation. A cycle. The laws of nature and of the entire Creation. Desire of all living organisms to propagate life. Rebirth. Metamorphoses of forms and phenomena. Each of these notions in itself is so full of meanings that commas seem to be out of place. This collection is a hymn to life, beauty, femininity, the latter being impossible without masculinity. The canvases are saturated with sensuality in various guises, sometimes it is a passion bordering on aggression, sometimes tenderness and awe. Erotic motives are interlaced with philosophical pursuits, «sweet» works contrast with deep and meaningful ones, sometimes suffered through one’s own experience which may not be just artistic but could stem from life itself. The main symbol of the collection is of course the Sun, driving force, the source of life’s energy. Dynamics and moving composition are inherent in all works. Yin-Yang, interaction of feminine and masculine principles is a very important subject of my works belonging to this cycle. The play of contrasts, including deliberate use of artistic techniques of contradistinctions, when cold is opposed to warm, shade to light, textured canvas surface to a smooth one, clear sonorous sound to a muffled grey in the background, a pasty brush stroke to a transparent glaze, dark to light, minuteness and explicitness to blurred and stylized shapes. Without shadow we would never be able to know the joy of light. Without white colour (a complete absence of colour) we would know nothing about the rainbow of colour. Without darkness we would not find out the light. Creativity becomes art when a conflict and tension arise within it. Here the memory serves symbols and images from Mikhail Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita”. The artist, creator of imagination lives by his own inner Heaven and Hell, deciding on his own whom to give primacy and sing laudatory ode to!

About me I have a higher professional artistic education and a diploma from the Latvian Art Academy, department of monumental painting. Before the Academy I had studied at and finished with distinction department of easel painting as well as department of illustrations at Janis Rozental Riga Art High School. I further honed my skills of wall-painting and graffito at Florence University of the Arts. Since 2007 I have been a member of the artists’ union of Latvia. First place winner in the artistic scholarship contest named after professor Indulis Zarins. I opened more than twenty personal exhibitions and took an active part in group shows including exhibition at the gallery “Crous-Beaux-Arts” (Paris). I am proud to have been chosen to represent the art and culture of Latvia at the international conference Baltic Connecting to high-ranking guests from China, South Korea, the USA and Japan. I teach actively and conduct visiting master classes as well as run my own studio-gallery Karine Paronyanc Art studio in Riga. In my creative workshop I work with groups of children and adults (drawing, painting, composition), host corporate art-events, deliver lectures. Co-organizer, custodian and participator of international exhibition of artists of Latvia, Lithuania and Armenia “Armenian palette” at the Latvian Academy of Arts. Co-organizer of travelling exhibitions summer cycle “Flora Magica”. My credo lies in my belief that art should transcend habitual familiar exhibition space and search for new ways to interact with a viewer. My works are inspired by limitless possibilities of colour, infinity of visual forms and creative opportunities. Through colour, light and ornament I share with you my delights and joy of existence. The process of creation for me is an amazing journey in which the Sun, Cosmos, salt of the Earth and Nature’s rhythms applied to canvas surface create absolutely new dimensions in your personal space. The collection «Watermelons» took a very special place in my biography: watermelon-lotus has become my symbol, company logo and identification mark. I firmly believe in the importance of art, possibility to combine exquisiteness of form with a depth of content and joy of living. I cannot see any contradiction in a positive message of an art piece and serious semantic component. This is what makes my approach to art.
