ABOUT THE ARTWORK

There are two chairs in the painting. There are empty red boots below the first chair – the boots are covered in blood. They are the boots of the soldier, who didn't get back home. The red duck is sitting on the second chair. The duck is the symbol of femininity, domesticity, maternity. The duck is the mother of the lost soldier, who took on the red color from the boots, and she is getting through the grief at the loss of her son. The action takes place at night, which means deep sorrow. Among the chairs in the sky, there is an enormous key of the sky-blue color, aimed at the ground. This is time – the key to everything, which will open this grief and heal it. The sky-blue color of the key means a new day. The small ducklings under the mother’s chair are of the same color – they are the symbol of the future, where the wounds are healed. ​ The painting was exhibited: 16 – 23 September 2019 – Waves of Reality or Excitation in Travneve, final exhibition on the NVAIR 2019 program, Modern Art Research Institute, Kyiv, Ukraine 15 June – 4 August 2019 – Narrative about Freedom, the final exhibition of Nazar Voitovich Art Residency, gallery of the Zbarazh castle, Zbarazh, Ukraine

My name is Olena Kayinska. I'm an artist. I'm happy to do what I love the most. I want to make you happy as well with the help of my paintings. My paintings-dreams take the observers inside, to the subconscious, to the core. Trying to find the inner self, the observer wanders through the imaginary world, fantastic forests, filled with symbolic images and archetypical symbols, inhabited with mysterious creatures, each of which provides a guide to the final destination – our heart. My aim is to make people happier. My paintings show the endlessness of obvious and unobvious relationships in this world with the help of mysterious storylines with the metaphysical sense. Being the guide between the worlds, I mix reality and magic in a genuine meditative form of my witchcraft. Direct ascetism of the flat surfaces, completeness, and persuasiveness of the compositions, seamless statics, graphical coding of the deep sense into the schematic images, order, and rhythm of the painting focus the observer’s attention on what is underneath. I want to return the observers to the pure, sincere, and spontaneous experience of the outer world, which we all had in our childhood. Children observe the world as it is, directly, without thinking. My paintings are childishly simple and straightforward. They help recall the child’s state of trust and safety, the state of interest in the world around, the state of fabulousness and love. As if you are being held in hands and told a fairy tale. When we manage to recall this fundamental state and restore the feeling of trust and pureness, the world starts showing us its magnanimous side. My paintings are portals of returning to the pure child’s state of mind and to the joy of being. ​
