“Language of Nature: Amanita Muscarias IV”

I explore the mystical allure of Amanita muscarias under the radiant full moon. The vibrant red caps of the mushrooms, adorned with delicate white spots, stand out vividly against the background, invoking a sense of enchantment and wonder. The Full Moon casts a serene glow, illuminating the scene and adding an ethereal quality to the composition.

  
The use of gold leaf adds a touch of opulence, symbolizing the hidden treasures and magic found in nature’s simplest forms.

  
Through this artwork, I aim to capture the mysterious beauty and captivating power of Nature, where the ordinary meets the extraordinary. The Amanita often associated with fairy tales and folklore, serve as a gateway to a world of imagination and fantasy, illuminated by the moon’s gentle light. 

The Full Moon, rich in symbolism across various cultures, illuminates the night, representing clarity, insight, and the revelation of truths that were previously hidden. Often linked to the feminine divine, it also symbolizes fertility, nurturing, and the embodiment of female energy.

  
I hope this piece allows you to feel the magic of Mother Nature.

The painting is inspired by the sounds of the wind in the fir trees and the sound of falling water. There is life in every sound, in every drop, in every blade of grass. This one is so beautiful, we have the opportunity to silently observe the flow of life around. It manifests itself in everything.

The base is wood tightly pressed plywood 0.5 cm thick.
The painting is made with oil paints. Varnish for protection.

Quarantined Of The World is a photo series documenting people’s experience of quarantine around the globe during Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The project was born as a creative outlet inspired by the experience of confinement of the artist who interviews and virtually photographs her subjects via video-communication. All portraits include glimpses into the life of strangers. Taken together, these photographs and captions offer a remarkable socio-psychological representation of human behaviour throughout a global pandemic that is changing the course of human history.

What would we like to share with the people of the future about our personal lives? This question lies at the heart of a mysterious video which shows up online out of nowhere. Yuri speaks from the future, seeking traces of our contemporary civilization and organizing these items in his Wunderkammer, an astounding cabinet of curiosities. Since all knowledge about our present era has disappeared, the audience is asked to share a significant object with a personal value and an accompanying story. An interactive installation will follow the first web version of this collective intimate story about our times.
