About The Artwork

People are different, their bodies are unique initially and life adds extra footprints on them with time. It is hard for many to accept imperfections like scars . People prefer to hide them to match accepted standards of beauty, but in this process they erase a piece of their story , an integral part of personality. As a result , the dissonance between body and soul appears as well as the dissonance between who we are and who we seem to be . The body is painted upon the old textured abstract canvas, which was thrown away because several holes appeared. The idea of “Holy skin" creation was born when I saw that canvas in trash. People considered damaged canvas useless and threw it away. The same approach is if something appears on the body, people don’t want to accept it and to show it . Through this artwork, I propose to show all hidden imperfections directly and suppose that people's beauty is in their identity. We are units of energy having strength in our self -acceptance. By understanding this, everyone can discover his or her own freedom. This canvas shows that even holes can add an old canvas to its value. Because having no holes and history this canvas will have no difference from many other woman depictions. The same is with the human body

For me, constantly moving between countries, not verbal, but the visual language has become an actual form of communication. My art is about our inner processes, often mirroring in the outer world. Being born in a multicultural environment, I consider myself a citizen of the world. I combine elements of different times and cultural communities to show the absence of the need for separation, labeling. After all, we form all this together, in co-existence. Nature with its processes has become both my source of inspiration and the most suitable material for my works. I am interested in its symbolic properties, intertextuality, transformative qualities, energy, and mood. I unite opposites, such as the tenderness of flowers and the hardness of epoxy resin, thereby revealing the ambivalence of being. I tear objects out of their natural cycle, idealizing them, transforming the finite into a semblance of the infinite. My work focuses on our notion and perception of time. I celebrate the beauty of imperfection because every flaw is a trace of the inexorable elusiveness of time, evidence of experiential involvement, and, thus, an organ of self-identification. That’s why the contingency of the process and the errors resulting from the experimental move are important to my practice.
