In the vibrant realm of contemporary art, few pieces resonate with the playful audacity of Inga Makarova's "I Was Told This is Art…". Immediately arresting in its simplicity, the canvas beckons the viewer closer with its bold black typography, echoing a sentiment many have felt when meandering through modern art galleries. Yet, it's the subsequent revelation—a meticulously detailed, oil and enamel-rendered black dildo—that truly captivates, evoking both chuckles and contemplative pauses. Makarova's work serves as a masterclass in irony, humor, and artistic commentary. She delves deep into the whimsical intersections of commercialism and art, challenging societal norms and pushing boundaries. In our world where value is so often dictated by perception, this piece humorously suggests that, with the right endorsement, even the most intimate of objects can be elevated to esteemed artistry. It tells a tale, perhaps of an art aficionado convinced to purchase not a tool of pleasure but a masterpiece for display. Furthermore, by presenting an object typically relegated to hushed conversations and hidden drawers so prominently, Makarova ignites discussions on openness, comfort, and the ever-evolving definitions of art. This piece doesn't just ask what art is; it questions who gets to decide and why. The audacious juxtaposition, combined with the work's title, creates an environment where viewers are encouraged to question, laugh, and perhaps even re-evaluate their own art collection criteria. For discerning art collectors and enthusiasts, "I Was Told This is Art…" isn't just a purchase; it's an investment in a conversation starter. A piece that promises not just aesthetic appeal but also lively debates and reflections. Inga Makarova, with this creation, firmly cements her reputation as an artist unafraid to merge humor, societal critique, and skilled craftsmanship into one unforgettable canvas.

Since early childhood I was always drawing or painting something. However, in my teenage years I newer perceived art as something serious, something one can do for a living. I used to think that I need a “serious” and down to earth profession, while art will remain as something for my soul, a hobby to enjoy during my free time. Now, after almost a decade, my way of thinking completely changed. I am sure that you should enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy. It is impossible to create something meaningful and important if you don’t love what you do, if you have no passion about it. And if you love what you do, it will never turn into a boring routine. I am permanently in search for new themes, concepts, images, new combination of colors and forms. And even if I choose an ordinary theme, I try to transfer it to canvas in a unique and fresh manner. Style or technique of an artwork is not as important for me, as the process of its creation and the result that I receive at the end. Lately, in addition to my experiments with various sources of light, like neon or LED that are used directly in the artwork, I also started experimenting with various objects that are often quite far from art, for example sport jackets, tableware, cutlery, etc.
