The gaze of strength Painting

ARTIST STATEMENT With the outbreak of a full-scale war, everyone, without exception, underwent changes. I also experienced such internal changes and breakdowns. Before that, I worked with children's illustrations or light stories. The war became an impetus for deep dives into my own self-identity. The topics of my research are women and color. I am interested in the manifestation of women in society, corporeality - physical role, personal or collective experience and violation of generally accepted frameworks. Through color, I raise these topics to the level of psycho-emotional and bodily sensations. The female body has acquired new forms of visual perception due to objectification. The body speaks, the body speaks an international language, where knowledge of any language of the world is no longer necessary. The purpose of my research is to create a space for dialogue, where everyone can interact with my works and express their views and opinions. In my artwork I use painting, graphics, digital collage, and sculptural plastic. BIO Born and live in Ukraine. From 2006 to 2010 studied at Erdely College of Arts. I began my artistic career with illustration for kids. Since 2019 I've worked as a teacher at an out-of-school institution. Since 2022 I have actively participated in exhibitions.
