ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"The 'Garden Guardian' serves as the keeper of our inner world, a symbol safeguarding the deepest corners of the soul where our most secret dreams and thoughts blossom and grow. This figure embodies the vigilance and tenderness with which we must treat our inner resources, sustaining balance and harmony amidst the diversity of our existence. The work beckons towards mindfulness and careful self-regard, reminding us of the need to tend to our inner space as one would a flowering garden, requiring consistent attention and care to maintain its beauty and wholeness."
Inner Garden Series. Daria explores the possibility of self-identification of a person from fragments of cultures and concepts, her works actualize the thirst for the integrity of the individual in the ever-changing cycle of ideas and meanings. The artist asks the question about the possibility of being an integral person in the metamodern era, characterized by oscillation between polar concepts and rethinking of fundamental ideas of the past. Her work is an internal response to the question of what integrity is and whether there is a need to strive for certain ideals.
Her work is also an external response to the totalitarian concepts that still exist in society. Concepts that are imposed from above require a false integrity, namely a certain ideology, and persecute everything that goes beyond these concepts. Born at the crossroads of Ukrainian and Russian cultures during the collapse of the Soviet Union, Daria manifests the norm of fragmentation as the norm, replacing the demands of integrity with the ideas of accepting otherness as unconditional beauty. Her characters build their own world in which culture has not become a dictatorship - a world that Daria considers her home.
Here is what Daria herself says about her works
I draw hybrid creatures and symbols of a mixanthropic world because I myself feel like a hybrid of cultures and identities. I desire wholeness, I love to see it in others, but I feel fragmented in myself. My paintings are my way of coming to terms with my own fragmented identity, and my way of showing that the beautiful does not always have to fit into an already existing framework.
