Жизнь как проект. Искусство как путь.
Путь к внутренней свободе
На этой странице я представляю часть серии работ для персональной автобиографической выставки, которая является одной из частей моей авторской вселенной большого проекта под названием «Жизнь как проект». В работах этой выставки мой «Путь к внутренней свободе» и принятие собственной силы Творца, архивируется художественными смыслами и моими собственными универсальными символами. Проходя «Путь героя» через поиск ответов на свои вопросы - погружение вглубь себя, принятие и разрешение всем своим частям быть, через воссоединение с потребностями своей души и осознание своей внутренней ответственности, через поиск своих внутренних точек опоры, я даю возможность зрителю найти свои собственные ответы на вопросы о своей внутренней свободе через мой пример. В качестве визуального языка я использую невероятно универсальную акварельную иллюстрацию. Дополняя работы словами и вырезками из журналов, я стремлюсь передать зрителю определенные послания и вшитые «подсказки» для их внутренней трансформации. Используя узнаваемые образы как альтернативные значения для каждого из зрителей, на которые каждый проецирует свой собственный опыт и свои собственные элементы, символы, знаки, намечая свой уникальный жизненный путь. Каждого человека и его судьбу можно рассматривать так долго, как сетчатку глаза, которая никогда не повторяется. Через свои работы я показываю не только свой глубокий трансформационный путь, но и путь поиска своего стиля в самовыражении. Я приглашаю вас в свой внутренний мир!
Triptych "Ego integration", 2024
Watercolour, collage, mirror
28 × 28 each
Description and history of exhibitions When you make the decision to free yourself from the external and discover the depth of your inner world, you start climbing the ladder of life, on the way of which you pass different stages of your own cognition. The path is not easy, sometimes painful, tempting, deceptive and confusing. Not everyone dares to take this risk. Not everyone dares to meet his or her real self. But the one who dares to reconcile mind and heart will already be beyond all systems. Only after having gathered courage and stepped into the amazing journey towards oneself, ego-integration and growth of personal power is possible. And at the end of each stage, a new chapter opens and you start all over again. But this way is not like anything that was before. In each chapter the main character is YOU!
And you are you?, 2023
Watercolour, ink
37 × 44
Description and history of exhibitions Through this work, my aim is to emphasise the significance of resisting the lure of ego and the mind's projections, breaking free from dependence on external opinions, societal norms, illusions, and the artificial constructs of our world. It serves as a reminder of the importance of detaching actions from emotional biases, disregarding external critics and internal attitudes, and acting authentically, rather than succumbing to self-deception and betrayal in pursuit of acceptance and validation. It sheds light on the illusory nature of our comfort zones and the ways in which we betray ourselves by comparing our lives to others.

The birth of a new consciousness, 2024
Watercolour, magazine clippings
40 × 40 cm
Description and history of exhibitions In this piece, the Earth, gently held by human hands, becomes a metaphor for a new ethical and spiritual awakening. The work speaks to themes of care, interconnectedness, and shared life on the planet, where art is not merely a reflection, but a living tool for dialogue. Through a combination of watercolour and collage, the artist explores the possibilities of visual language as a mediator in understanding global challenges, from environmental to cultural, reminding us that the birth of a new consciousness begins with empathy. Art here not only reflects the world, but also shapes it - connecting the disparate, awakening responsibility and hope.

Ego, 2024
Watercolour, mirror, magazine clippings
75 × 56
Description and history of exhibitions To know the truth is to know oneself, to know sincerity. Sincerity is a simple and at the same time complex human quality. Simple - because this feature is inherent in us from birth. But being an adult, climbing the ladder of life, we learn about the opposite of this quality. When our ego takes over. When we begin to succumb to outside influences, forget about our real selves, imitate and try on ourselves imposed social canons. And at this moment, in the pursuit of illusory happiness, the worst thing happens - we stop hearing our heart. We stop being sincere. And at that moment we lose touch not only with ourselves. Sincerity is like a bridge that lies between our heart and mind. It is our balance that we strive to realise in life. Our existence is cyclical and harmonious, and we are not accidental in it. But we have a choice to be in harmony or not. And the key to choosing the former is to be sincere and to follow our sincere desires - that is, desires that come from the depths of our being, not the whims of the ego that we are used to fooling ourselves with. Sincere desires cannot be rejected by the world or by other people. Simply because they are real, and therefore natural and in harmony with all things.

Choice, 2023
Watercolour, collage
37 × 47
Description and history of exhibitions A child is born with a total sense of love and trust. He is pure and innocent from birth. And only an adult begins to destroy this trust in him. And at this point in our lives, we begin to make our first choices. Everything that is considered imposed on us from the outside is only that we ourselves have made a CHOICE in accepting it in relation to ourselves. We have chosen to accept. But no matter where we are or what happens to us, there is always a ray of hope with us. A ray of hope that can lead us out of any darkness.
