Horseshoe Painting

Exploring ethnography and mythology, I shape the patterns of an ethnic group. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of folk tales and contemporary scientific research in psychology, sociology, and philosophy, I seek mythological metaphors that reflect the relationship between humans and the external world. In their unity and opposition, I see both immense potential and limiting factors for the development of an individual personality. Participating in narrative events as an archaic, demonized feminine entity—Yaga-Roga—I personally traverse the path of my hero, embracing them and transforming along with them. While remaining myself, I am transformed through the metamorphoses of your destinies. My authorial universe is created through a multidisciplinary approach. I work in the technique of acrylic painting, enhancing it with elements of mixed media. By combining methods of grisaille and polychromy, abstraction and figurative art, ornamentation, and local color, I develop my own unique visual language. The language of performance and happening helps me establish a personal connection with the audience, gain instant feedback, and make them co-participants in the creative process. This is how I create my own myth, immersing the audience in which they can discover pathways to overcome complex life challenges.
