Demons inside l Print

The artist comes from a small town in the Donetsk region. She currently lives in Brno. The artist's work explores the inner world of human beings through the language of symbols and metaphors. The central element of her works are images of animals, which appear as universal archetypes of human nature. The paintings are executed in the style of contemporary expressive realism with elements of symbolism. The realistic image of the animal is intertwined with an emotionally charged background created by intuitive brushstrokes. This background reflects feelings and thoughts that cannot be expressed in words. Animals become allegories of human inner states. It is important to the artist that the viewer sees not only the motif itself in her paintings, but also themselves—that the works become a mirror in which our dreams, fears, and joys are reflected. Each work is an invitation to a dialogue with oneself: about trust and doubts, about finding one's way and inner harmony. The absence of a specific space emphasizes that the action does not take place in the outside world, but on an emotional and spiritual level. The color palette of the series is built on contrasts. Fiery orange and earthy tones create an atmosphere of flame and inner tension, while white and black accents enhance the drama and depth of the images. Orange-brown symbolizes energy and the impulse to act, green symbolizes hope and renewal, and dark shades symbolize tenacity and strength of character. Overall, the artist creates works in which realism becomes a guide to symbolism, and each brushstroke carries not only an image but also a vivid emotion. It is an exploration of the human being—his feelings.
