Painting is an interesting medium. Its a big drama that you love and learn to tame. You can never be cocky with it or it will slap you in your face right away. Sometimes it drives you complete bananas and sometimes it gives you so much pleasure. It could be a torture and it could be like love making. It kills you with its toxicity yet we still do it. Painting does not respect weakness and insecurity yet it welcomes experiments. I guess, one needs to have some kind of mental problems to marry oneself to painting. • • • • • #painting #malerai #kunst #art #detail #thoughts #thoughtsonpainting #artist #paintingoftheday #oilpainting #painting🎨

A for Anything Oil on Canvas 2021 Thick application of professional oil colors creates a visible, sculpting like texture. The artists uses flash colors to paint abstract forms to release the viewer of watching the representations of physical world and focus viewers attention on the means of representation. The, rather violent and dramatic scene is balanced by beautiful, eye pleasing yellow. The artist works with visual experiences, rather then depictions. The key motivation for the artist are emotion provoking experiences together with deep appreciation of the medium • • • • • • • • #fineart #painting #paintingforsale #contemporaryart #modernpainting #visualexperience #oilpainting #emergingartist #collectorsofinstagram #fineartcollector #collectingart #buyart #buyartonline #artistinside #loveforpainting #contemporarypainting #berlinartweek #emergingpainter

the walk in installation i made for #rundgang at @udkberlin It consists of around 20,000 holes through which light comes in, on the floor there are mirroring panels, that give you a feeling of floating in space Lots of people visited. Yet the behavior pattern was similar : they walk in, they are stunned and amazed, they take pictures and have fun, than when they walk out there is a small text that gives the context. In a second their face expression changes. Some feel shamed and silently walk away with their eyes to the floor, some walk in again to view it under the different context, some came up to me and said how strong it is, there were even people who had tears on their eyes. My thought was to remind people that the war is still going on and to show visually what price Ukraine is paying for freedom and for EU safety. People here don‘t think much about the war anymore, or what it means, they rather complain about gas prices and that everything is getting more and more expensive, they do not see cause and consequence. They do not see that its their war too, its the war on democracy, on freedom, on everything that people were building after ww2. When you see visually what the number means, you can not stay indifferent, imegineing that behind each light spot is a life, just the same as yours or mine, that was taken away in a brutal forceful, painful way. and what you see its only estimated numbers in Mariupol...and the war is not over...the amount of human suffering that this war brought is unbearable and you can not call yourself a human and than close your eyes on the fact that with every new day more and more stars with interrupted lives appear...

My last painting before the war. I started to work on it in the late autumn and i had a strong feeling bordering with maniac obsession that it has to be about resistance. The only word i had in mind was „противостояние» ( confrontation, clash, resistance). I had no idea whats about to come, back then, yet i guess it was already up in the air. I paint from spiritually-intuitive place. I always have a problem with subject matter or describing my works, yet this time i knew precisely what it is about. I had only one word in my mind and i started to work from there. How can one paint such a complex concept as „resistance“. When i was painting it, metaphysical ideas on good and evil crossed my mind, for unknown to me reasons i was thinking in those terms when i painted. A little over a month after i was done the war started, Zelensky spoke about good and evil and that the light will overcome darkness Oil on canvas 175x205 cm

Война. Оккупация. Деокупация. И освобождение территорий. 2го апреля Київська область была полностью освобождена от оккупанто-орков. Тем не менее я сейчас пишу это у Києві и началась сирена. Война не ушла. Для многих война навсегда останется в памяти и разбитом сердце. Гостомель. Женщина, со слезами на глазах, плачется соседке что все еще не нашли пропавшего без вести ее сына, а мужик, когда я фотографировала разрушенный дом, крикнул «это уже рай». Но единственное что я в тот момент чувствовала «это ад». Там последствия ада застыли в воздухе, заморозились во времени. Двор. Ни одной души. Тишина. И только разбомбленные и горелые дома. Каждая жизнь, каждой семьи в каждой из этих сотен квартир оборвалась, все мелочи которые люди собирали и любили, валяются на улице. Людей, которые это собирали и любили, скорее всего уже нет в живых. А у тех немногих живых с этих дворов не осталось ничего, все что не разбомбили ракетами, артиллерией то отобрали оккупанты во время оккупации. Проходя дальше поодинокие соседи переговариваются как и где нашли убитых и замученных соседей. Когда-то жизне-трепещущий двор, но теперь о жизни напоминают только цветения и зелень во дворах. Завалы там никто не разбирал, а около входов в подъезды сильный трупный запах. А во дворах большие братские могилы. И на большие дворы, всего парочка местных. Которые пытаются в этом всем и с этим всем жить дальше. Да здравствует русский мир! Да здравствуют все путино пониматели и путино жополизатели! Пс. Фото в этом посте сделаны в одном дворе

story behind @sonyashnik_auction . that the war is inevitable i knew in the very first days of February. I was paralyzed, i could not be able to do anything except read, research and analyze.Position of Ukraine was very clear to me. Briefly, it was either war or letting russia eat up ukraine‘s sovereignity politically, over time, via minsk agreement. Yet with every new day war seemed closer and closer. I was counting hours to the dates US intelligences named as dates of invasion, even tho i knew they would not invade on those days. I felt zero support from my berlin so called friends, i was not even comfortable to mention how i feel to them after i wrote to one friend about it and asking her to meet up to talk and she basically ghosted me, only my professor in uni supported me and wrote me comforting and strong mails. I felt helpless, its a terrible burden to realise an inevitable horror will come sooner or later and know that the only thing you can do is to wait... i tried to come back to kyiv and almost bought a ticket on the 23rd ( a day before the war started) yet when i mentioned it to my parents they were crying and asking me not to do that. It was breaking my heart as it felt like the only right thing to do, yet i care greatly about my parents feelings and agreed not to come to protect them. Every day i feared going to sleep because i was afraid to wake up from the news that russia invaded ukraine. And one day it happened. / here i can write about all the emotional experiences i had in the first days of war but i am not going to/ i will just say, it was totally bizarre walking down the streets seeing life in berlin happening as it is and knowing that life of every ukranian changed forever and then i was in ubahn and recieved a message from my far relatives in kharkiv that saying „we are in a bomb shelter we don‘t think we can make it out alive“, i started to cry right in ubahn, yet the life around was normal, no one shared my grief and the only thing i wished is to be in ukraine, where everyone shares the same grief and where everyone turned into one huge organism that works to destroy fucking russian faschists. *to continue - carousel*
