"The Smell of Cherry Jam" compliments the "Sogni Italiani" series representing the peaceful family lunch at the lake. The state of Happiness for me is a mix of visions, smells, sounds and feelings. I am engaging all senses of the viewers to follow their own path of sweet memories of dreams. The painting features both of the main characters of my art - Sunlight and Bluebird of Happiness. I keep turning to them while depicting the moments of joy and elusive state of inner balance. I am fascinated by the sunlight, the way it lights up the colors of the day and creates warm bright memories of the cherished time that we spend with our beloved ones. The metaphor of Bluebird as a metamodernist image is seen as harbinger of Happiness and Hope in pantheons of ancient and contemporary cultures. People keep chasing the Bluebird and its vibes in of our daily life while it is always reachable as soon as one starts looking for it.

unstable ground

This artwork encapsulates the struggle and frustration of navigating this emotional labyrinth I am far too familiar with – anxiety. It's like a constant feeling that, regardless of the choices I make or the paths I take, I can't seem to find an escape route. There is no way out.

Artist Statement // Whenever, Wherever (2023)

My paintings are made predominantly with pastels. They begin as charcoal rubbings that I go over with a watercolor wash, generating visual movements and subtle optical mixtures. I follow the traces that both ground and material have left behind, using dry pastels to tease out forms and rhythms until I arrive at a sense of balance. It is a visual balance – its colors, forms and compositions that give that space its structure. Yet, it is also not just that, as Rebecca Purdum once said, “What it looks like is just one small part of a much greater purpose.” When I am painting, these tangible things that I would so reflexively exploit become something else that floats between wanting to clarify what its material space holds, and knowing that such a thing is elusive and ephemeral, much like the powdered pigments that gives these paintings shape. 

  
Like Julie Methru, I am thinking of literal and abstracted space, and the emotional tonalities that we associate with such places and the events that pass through them. As it is in _Chendana_ and _A Lament_ that were named for their origins, I think of the lives of Georgette Chen and Giotto and the work they have left behind – memories in and of themselves of times long lost. Be they drawings of things, or a material impression, an emotional history is embedded into their visual presentation like a memory. And, like a memory shared that grows with each re-telling, it becomes more of an enduring idea than a past remembered, though we think of them as such all the same.

Shame

I take one step forward and fall back into a trap, getting bitten by a snake. The stitches I am forced to unravel comfort me as I unlearn my distortions from adulthood. I’m knitting the main road right now, but might drift off to explore. I don’t know how to build ladders, I just focus on the path. I talk to the little girl in the mirror, our favorite color is lilac. I knit her a lilac road, and remind her that if anyone kicks her to take it as an incentive to jump for her dreams. I didn't end up needing any ladders, and I scared all the snakes away. It’s a game after all.

Late summer . Abstraction. Landscape Oil on canvas The painting - will be presented at the ArtShopping Paris Carousel du Louvre fair on October 21-23, 2022 - stand B91 Before sunrise, when the colors are monotonous with dullness and freshness, the water in a small lake flows in a wide smooth surface. During the day, the sun blinded the eyes because of the blue sky. On the river, the wind split the water plane into thousands of small waves and thousands of shades of blue and blue reflection ... During the day in the field - the freshness of open air and the sultry touch of the sun. Bright, but the colors of the day are filled with warmth. On the eve of autumn, hot summer days are permeated with coolness that attracts you to space, openly taking away your thoughts along with the smell of warmed earth ...

Late summer

"Bloom"

Stakkr represents a snapshot of the Anthropocene, echoing the form of the Earth’s core and evoking traditional geological modes of analysis. This sense of accumulation is reminiscent of Tells and Mounds in archaeological study, resulting in a visual expression of time. Stakkr, however, is a contemporary stratum, whose unique elements, layered and laboured atop one another, range from precious to pollutant, including concrete, plaster, lead, steel, aluminium, rubber, wax, wood, plastics, glass, asphalt, cardboard, foam rubber and polystyrene.
