About The Artwork

From the series Platonic Solids. Platonic Solids is my largest series. In some works there appear characters dancing in ritual, dynamic poses. They are beyond gravitation, in a fight, in motion. Other works depict figures sitting thoughtfully, that is why, some works in that series are subtitled Contemplatio. The series was inspired by real Platonic solids, i.e., regular polyhedrons. I often make drawings and figures that are featured in mathematical and philosophical papers of my husband. In this way, I have learned that these polyhedrons constitute elements in Plato’s cosmology. Thus, the tetrahedron is associated with fire, the cube with earth, the octahedron with air, the icosahedron with water. The mysterious dodecahedron, probably unknown to Plato, in Greek tradition, was associated with the Universe.

In my paintings I try to combine the sphere of physis, sensual pleasure, biology, and colors with symbolic elements evoking ontological and metaphysical meanings. My canvas constitute a mixture of textural and flat painting; Working on paper, I apply various techniques; I also press some parts of my linocuts. I am fond of order, symmetry and classic skills. At the same time, in painting and drawing I use techniques that allow chance decalcomania, grattage, dropping. At the first stage of my creative work I am quick and spontaneous. Then, at the next stages, I tame chaos and introduce order. As a result, my paintings form multilayer phenomenon. The layer of colors, regions of colors interactions constitute the foundation of my paintings. The material layer consists of the specific techniques I applied, textures, and deposits of paints. The layer of represented objects includes figures like woman, boy, tree, rhino. The layer of meanings consists of a story that usually finds no final on the picture.
