One heart for two - The painting "One heart for two" is a part of the series of paintings "Make friends with abyss". This picture tells the viewer a story of true love. True love does not emphasize figures, view of life, or material values. It connects all sorts of people and allows them to carry their feelings through time and challenges. Two lovers look in the same direction, which does not mean an admiration, but a deep feeling, when two persons share a common goal. They are calm and confident. A butterfly and a flower on their faces symbolize the essence of their search and how they complement one another. One black silhouette evidences that two hearts in love flow together and exist as one. They have not only one heart for two but one body. Those who love each other become one, and there are no differences and divisions, it is a complete synchronization of two people into a single whole. The painting tells about the mystical connection between loving people, even if they are at a vast distance from each other, they feel the presence of a loved one with their hearts.
«Dissolve and melt» - How many girls do you see? "Dissolve and melt", from the cycle "Making friends with the abyss", is a sensual and passionate story about freedom, love, a spark between people. The heroines captured the dance of emotions. Sparks are circling around them, reminiscent of the reflections of the aurora borealis. The girls are fascinated by the dialogue of movements to the same rhythm of hearts. Double exposure of the painting creates dynamics, revealing more fully the history of the moment. Girls sincerely show their natural sensuality. They are liberated, alluring and free. Mixed media (acrylic, glitters) Stretched canvas 90 x 70 cm
«The Hidden World» - In the series of works "Making friends with the abyss" there is a story of two hearts called "The Hidden World". The heroes of the plot are covered with a single cloak, which seems to form a common body, giving one energy for two. The couple is surrounded by icy cold, but they emit light. They are serene, shrouded in warmth and keep each other warm. Silhouettes of poppies highlight the bright light and energy that comes from the lovers. Inside their world, the summer sun always shines, even if it is winter around. Mixed media (acrylic, glitters) Stretched canvas 90 x 140 cm 2020 Style: Mixed technique
«Mystery of the Universe» - Autumn motives in the cycle "Making friends with the abyss" are presented in the painting "The Mystery of the Universe". The main idea lies in the duality of emotions, characters, manifestations of us in this world. The picture consists of two parts, which can be swapped. Heroes can look at each other or stand with their backs, looking in the other direction. In any location, the picture will look harmonious, but the meaning will change. In "The Mystery of the Universe" it is raining in autumn, creating a kind of tension between the characters. We see the duality of natures, their real emotions. The girl initially does not look at the young man, but true desires make her turn to the guy. The hero, on the other hand, has no double bottom. He is straightforward, immediately shows that he is disposed to the girl and observes with interest. The different characters of the characters are emphasized by the landscape. The girl is filled with the warm rays of the sunset, and the guy carries the restrained shades of the night. A flock of birds appears in the picture as a symbol of powerful energy. The couple froze, motionless, searching for answers within themselves. Mixed media (oil, acrylic) Stretched canvas 90 x 140 cm 2020
«Waiting in the Deep» - The picture is part of the cycle "Make friends with the abyss." It was launched in 2020 during the coronavirus and reflects the thoughts that plagued many during the onset of the pandemic. The image of a girl conveys a viscous atmosphere of stagnation. She was sucked to the very bottom of the ocean, swallowed up by the abyss, surrounded by mud and algae. The heroine's gaze is appraisingly directed forward in an attempt to find out what fate has in store for her. Hiding in anticipation, the girl is imperturbable, confident in herself and in her future. She looks forward to a change for the better and builds up energy. We see the image at the moment of transformation. The color transitions are reminiscent of dancing flames and reflections that dispel haze. The heroine of the picture mentally boils. Seething, sparks and weightless smoke appear around it. The darkness is parting. Recently, the viscous ocean floor is becoming a platform for a dash towards the light. A fire broke out inside. Circumstances are subordinate. The wait is over. Mixed media (acrylic, oil) Stretched canvas 90 x 70 cm 2021 Style: Mixed technique
«Flower of feelings» - This painting is a vivid embodiment of spring. Lovers on it are young and beautiful. They are overwhelmed with tenderness and passion. The recent night dusk is parting, which is intimate to us - the light that the steam emits. A pure, thin, fragile girl and a romantic, attentive young man start a tender love story together. They, like a blossoming peony, are facing the sun in anticipation of the day. The heroes of the picture bask in the warm rays, discovering new facets of feelings. The couple's life seemed to have stepped on a new round. Everything that held the lovers back melted with the coming of spring. Now they can relax and plunge into a new life, which has prepared only happy moments for them. Mixed media (acrylic, oil) Stretched canvas 120 x 80 cm 2021 Style: Mixed technique
"Flowers of life" - A flower is something vulnerable, something that needs to be looked after and protected. He will not survive without care in a cold climate, a soulless world. The girl and the cat in the picture are also, in a sense, beautiful flowers, they are like the buds of one inflorescence. They reveal their beauty and unity to us, surrounded by thickets, ornate bush stalks. Bees fly around them as an integral part of the flower's life. He needs pollination - help, support, care. The characters in the picture froze for a moment in a triangle of light. He, like a searchlight, illuminates the truth of life contained in the plot. On the one hand, the silhouettes of the cats jump on the girl, choosing her as a companion, and on the other, they jump off and leave her life. That is how it should be. This is established by nature. Man and animal complement each other and should be close. They reveal new facets of the soul in each other. We are all living beings and deserve a good attitude, a sense of security, care, support. The girl in the picture is a symbol of something fragile that requires more attention, help from the outside world. She can be vulnerable, just like a cat can be helpless in a certain environment, it is difficult for her to exist without a person. We are created to exist in union. People surround themselves with animals, feeling the need to share their care, and cats gratefully accept love and give their attention. Imagine a dog in the place of a cat. The meaning will not change. Human and animal may be separate units, but together they will be happier. Mixed media (acrylic, oil) Stretched canvas 80 x 80 cm 2021 Style: Mixed technique
«Open up to the world» - "Open to the world" combines a portrait and abstraction, reminiscent of stained glass. We see a girl who is as if covered with a veil, hidden from everyone. Everyone, looking at the picture, will see his season, his favorite season full of warmth. The outlines resemble grass, trees, mountains, a lake, a field, the rays of the sun. A woman's face is hidden under a veil of cold shades of blue and green. These colors are a symbol of a past life, a stage that has already been completed. There were many roads in the life of the heroine. But now the girl is finally ready to show herself, to open up to the world. This is a new path for her. She sees that the world is very warm, and there is some magic, energy in it. Magic seems to spread around, enveloping, floating in the air, filling. The heroine carefully and slowly opens up to the new world, examining it. It's too early to talk about it, but the heroine likes to look, listen and get acquainted with the new space. After all, the world responds to her with love and warmth. Mixed media (acrylic, oil) Stretched canvas 100 x 80 cm 2022
