ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Paradise" within the "PERICHORESIS SERIES" reflects on a world where harmony between the diverse elements of nature is not just possible, but intrinsic. It portrays an existence devoid of the constraints that often segregate life forms, emphasizing the profound connections across species. This artwork offers a vision of unity, where the interdependence of beings is celebrated, and the lines between the human and the animal kingdom are artistically dissolved, suggesting a coexistence that is both natural and sacred.
PERICHORESIS SERIES
“Perichoresis” (ancient Greek περιχώρησις - “interpenetration”), a theological term meaning the mutual penetration of divine parts into each other, to describe a unique union that does not imply mixing or merging, but emphasizes an indivisible unity.
Daria explores the theme of new sexuality, deliberately choosing a term from theological treatises for her series of works.
With this gesture, she protests against the dictates of religion, the church’s manipulation and pessimization of human sexual manifestations and physicality, the false meanings and concepts with which religions have burdened, and instead of building true connections and bridges for man and God, they build walls.
“Perichoresis” for her is a beautiful and complex term that describes the fusion of the divine and the material. Having grown up in the Protestant tradition within an Orthodox society, Daria notes the common separation of sexuality from divinity in all these religions, while she sees sexuality as the clearest manifestation of divinity, beauty, and sublimity.
The artist notes that Christian culture has invested the image of the female body with a narrative of pornographic tension, while at the same time presenting paradise before the Fall as a sexual paradise, the Garden of earthly pleasures. For the artist, sexual paradise is a safe environment, complete trust, acceptance, the opportunity to open up and discover the Other, the opportunity to learn to be loved and to love.
Love is an environment where merging does not dissolve in another person, but on the contrary, strengthens the individuality of each and enriches each other.
Thus, the artist reminds that the division into the sublime and the low in love is artificial, and overcoming this division can make life more beautiful. The heroes of her paintings are immersed in the enigmatic space of love, and sometimes there are ironic scenes that balance the degree of sublimity.

2012 Collaborate Project Light of Hearts, Luhansk Ukraine Dasha Pogodina about her art New sexuality and personal integrity - are the basic areas of search in my artistic practice.
In my practice, I problematize the ideal of the metamodern world with its total moderation and the desire to return to high ideals and values. As an artist, I concentrate on the nature of the corporeal, I perceive the body as a membrane reflecting me into this world and communicating the world to me. In search of answers, I enter into dialogue with the body-sensory lexicon of Kiki Smith and Paula Modersohn Becker and also find support in the sublime physicality of the early Gothic of the 13th century from Giotto, unencumbered by the tension of formal anatomy. My works are filled with color, and ethnic decoration and are illustrative at the same time. This turns my paintings into light, at first glance, stories, which, however, do not call the viewer to cold contemplation, but, on the contrary, open up the opportunity to safely return to their secret “I”.
I use the space of naive archetypal images, creating a safe haven from aggressive modernity, with the opportunity to dive into the psychological depths of my own worldview. I build into my paintings the mechanics of oscillation of naivety and mockery, trust and cynicism, chastity and debauchery, strength and kindness, as a manifesto of courage to be vulnerable and herbivorous in a world where food chains still exist.

- CatkinsBy Amanda WattLocated in Belfast, GB"I consider myself a ‘Fusionist’, because I merge styles that inspire me, while playing with the fusion of East and West. I combine orientalism and primitivism with western cubist principles and the expressionists’ use of colour, to create bright and vibrant figurative images." - Amanda Watt Amanda Watt was born in Northern Ireland in 1960, and graduated from the Belfast College of Art and Design in 1982. Just three years out of University, while living in London, Amanda was discovered by top film director Barry Levinson, who invited her to Malibu to paint from his beach house for six months. From this moment, her art took off, and she spent the next twenty years building a successful career in California, making her way into collections of many key LA directors, producers, galleries, and film stars. With annual solo shows in LA, San Francisco and New York, Amanda's bright, vibrant landscapes, interior scenes, and her semi-abstract figurative paintings have became a staple of Californian society. Watt's key collectors include casino mogul Steve Wynn...Category
