About demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge and technical and practical level of skills through artwork, I think that I am moving along the path not wider but deeper. Instead of continuing to jump through all the working methods and materials that I like, I go deeper and identify my working methods and materials. I am not following the popular path of an artist, abandoning the commercial component, which costs me nerves and money. At the same time, I look for complexity in simplicity.
Fractured, 2024, canvas, paint, recycled newspapers, screws, cardboard, acrylic, fixatives, wood, 53 x 79 x 9 cm.
A simple piece of wood or board, as in the work “Fractured,” already contains a whole complex of messages. After a long discussion about the possibilities of presentation, I settled on pure material, which I had previously artistically broken down.
This is not only a decision made - a concept that I am theoretically developing, but also a study of the fracture method as an artistic expression.
And at the same time, I bring hyper-sensitivity to my materials, through the four senses. My works are tactile, absorb sound, contain a specific smell and are visually engaging. This complex helps to increase the reaction and sensitivity of the viewer on a subconscious level.
Regarding the production of ambitious artworks that are critically informed through drawing out parallels and subtle connections between personal trauma, synesthetic expressions and non-traditional materials, I make provocative statements that discuss standards of beauty and value, materialism and norms of consumerism in society, methods of perceiving information and forming opinions, norms of expression of emotions and vulnerability of matter, power dynamics.
During this part, I continued to experiment, for example, with AI and the GPT chat.
In addition to this, I continue my further destruction and reassembly of my colour fields.
In articulating my critical and conceptual knowledge and understanding of a range of visual arts and contemporary contexts, I have provided numerous examples and analysed theories that inform my practice.
