Daria Aksenova
"Frosted Lemon" Mixed Media Drawing

About the Item

Daria Aksenova's (US based) "Frosted Lemon" is an hand drawn, cut and suspended paper piece that depicts bright green and yellow abstract forms and patterns. Sold as a set of three. Each piece is 9 x 9 x 1" (10 x 10" framed) with an installation size of 36 x 10". Bio Daria Aksenova is best known for her pen and ink, suspended, cut paper narrative shadowboxes. The current focus of her work is the creation of cinematographic storytelling through constructed dynamism - arising from layering and complexity of composition - within a static media, inspired by her past experience with the fashion and film industries. Daria Aksenova uses ink as it is an unforgiving medium that precludes editing and demands precision. Individual elements are then hand-cut with a scalpel and suspended against each other until the desired depth is achieved. Her technique demands a steady hand and unfailing commitment, often requiring over a hundred hours of dedication and intimacy with each piece. The Subject matter choice is driven by her interest in symbolism, often reflecting conflict inherent to the human condition, as echoed through mythology and folklore. The balance of playful storytelling coupled with deeper-seeded significance provides unique yet relatable work. Her pieces evoke a dreamscape-like narrative which pulls in both the eye and mind, presenting a space and opportunity for the imagination to wander into a deep narrative that can only be experienced firsthand. Artist Statement I have always been fascinated with storytelling, starting with childhood bedside fables and mythology. Three years ago, seeking a new challenge, I undertook creating a narrative arc within a static medium, using principles I learned from my previous industries: fashion and film. My mission is to bring back our childhood imaginations that are drowned out by the everyday bustle in our ever-busy lives. I choose my settings and subject material to draw the viewer back to the folklore and myths of their youth, hoping to create artwork that inspires the dreamer within.
