About The Artwork

This story began with huge mango. My dear friend brought it from her Egypt trip. Awaiting to eat this sweety I dropped in dreaming about Egypt culture and history. And my glance slid through last base watercolor. I saw a big bird with long narrow beak. Who was that? I didn't know. I rushed to the book of art history with color pictures and found it. It was an Ibis - a sacred bird of ancient Egyptians. For my 1st art work I chose the colors of mango? Dark yellow and green. I was chewing fruit during the work process. The next one I made in historical colors of papyruses which were black and ocher. I was sure that my work was done. But... I turned ready artworks upside down and saw absolutely different plots with foot and hat. The bicorne hat of Napoleon who made attempt to conquer Egypt with French campaign in 1798-1801.

I choose materials and images for my works that allow the viewer to have a sensory experience and ignite the imagination. For the installation were used fabrics tactilely resemble the dolphin skin and the ocean sound as a soundtrack. I create surreal watercolors through a visual search for a finished plot in basic abstract watercolor drawing. When you look closely at abstraction, many images appear. Task: choose catchy ones. I do many abstractions. This is my image library. I transfer the captured image to separate sheet of paper. I like to create a dialogue of 2 colors, playing with shades in my artwork. Plots that I find are mostly the fruit of my understanding of the literature I love: fairy tales, history, fiction and poetry. Also, “raw material” for the plot can be strong impressions of surrounding world, such as diving to all the deepest depths of the ocean by a man. My heroes are flexible and even fluid. They play with space and time. The beginning of my art way was a spinal injury and a slowdown in life. My doctor recommended me to draw and look into myself for recovery support. I had an insight. I began to perceive the challenge as a chance to explore my personality and create in my mind those physical possibilities that I want. Reality has begun to change.
