ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In "Posing in the Garden," from the "Archive of Happiness: Unlived Chronicles," I offer a vision of peace that my family's history never allowed. This reimagined scene portrays the tranquil existence that was taken from my ancestors. The figure, set against the backdrop of a vibrant garden, symbolizes a dream of serenity and the joy that might have filled their days.
This painting is my way of soothing the wounds of the past, a personal endeavor to paint a history where beauty and peace prevail. It's a tribute to the strength and perseverance inherent in my heritage, a conscious move away from the grief that history imposed on us. The use of bright colors and relaxed posture in the artwork is my celebration of potential and the vibrant life that could have been ours.
Series Archive of happiness. Unlived Chronicles
This is a way for me to work through the trauma of generations who were deprived of the opportunity to have happy years of childhood youth and maturity throughout the 20th century. My family's photos and stories are full of sadness and pain, unfulfilled dreams and broken destinies. The Soviet government was engaged in the dispossession, and displacement of people, families were forced to abandon their homes. I want to create a false archive in which generations of my family were happy. My task as an artist is to rewrite the script, to give voice and image to what my ancestors dreamed of but could not get. I paint the carefree times that didn't exist, in which they were happy, living in their beautiful rich houses, studying, meeting their love, gathering as a big family for holidays, and whispering each other secrets about suitors. For me it is a way to come to terms with the trauma of generations condemned to survival instead of life, to create a personal image of a future of joy and prosperity, and to show society and others with similar backgrounds that liberation lies not in suffering but in rethinking and strength.

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

- Scottish Impressionist 20th century oil, figures inside a clothing marketBy Murray McNeel Caird UrquhartLocated in Woodbury, CTScottish Impressionist 20th century oil, figures inside a clothing market. He exhibited at the Royal Academy; Royal Society of British Artists; Royal Hibernian Academy; Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts; Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. Murray Urquhart was the son of Dr. Andrew Urquhart, Oakley, Kirkcudbright. His mother, who died two weeks after Murray’s birth, was the daughter of Alexander McNeel Caird, Procurator Fiscal for Wigtownshire. This is a very unusual subject and market scenes like this are quite rare, I guess due to the complex nature of the subject and the difficulty in balancing the composition. The artist has done a wonderful job of painting this subject, it is a wonderful example of Scottish Impressionist painting...Category
