About the Item

ABOUT THE ARTWORK The painting "Driada - I feel the Earth" is a contemporary piece that merges the allure of mythology with the raw essence of nature. It portrays a nude female figure, a Driad, with her eyes closed in serene contemplation, embodying the intimate connection between the human form and the earth. The palette is rich with warm, earthy tones of red and orange, creating a sense of warmth and vitality that seems to pulse from the canvas. These colors convey the figure's deep-rooted bond with the natural world. The contrasting cool greens and blues of the background and the tree-like forms suggest a harmonious coexistence with the environment, reminiscent of a druidic connection to nature. The artist employs fluid, organic brushstrokes to give life to the Driad's form, lending a softness and vulnerability to her presence. The broad, confident strokes in the background evoke the wild, untamed aspects of nature, while the delicate swirls and script suggest a whispering wind, carrying ancient songs and wisdom through the leaves. This work is a visual ode to the nurturing spirit of the earth and the ancient guardians who symbolize its endurance and beauty. The Driad's pose and the painting's vibrant colors invite viewers to ponder their own relationship with the natural world. PERICHORESIS SERIES In her series of works, Dasha uses the term "perichoresis" (Dr.-Greek περιχώρησις - "interpenetration"), a theological term meaning the mutual penetration of divine parts into each other, for the title to describe a unique union that does not imply mixing or merging, but emphasizes an inseparable and inseparable unity. In her work, Daria explores the theme of a new sexuality, deliberately choosing a term from theological treatises for her series of works. With this provocative gesture, she protests against the dictates of religion, the manipulation and pessimization of human sexual expression and corporeality by the church. "Perichoresis" for her is a beautiful and complex term describing the fusion of the divine. Having grown up in the Protestant tradition within Orthodox society, Daria states the separation of sexuality from divinity common in all these religions, while she sees sexuality as the brightest 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, a Garden of earthly pleasures. For the artist, sexual paradise is a safe environment, complete trust, acceptance, an opportunity to open up and discover the Other, an opportunity to learn to be loved and to love. An environment where fusion does not dissolve in the other person, but on the contrary strengthens the individuality of each person and enriches each other. Thus the artist through the term "perichoresis", which means interpenetration, fusion of individualities and even occurs in Christian treatises as a round dance of love, reminds that the division into high and low in love is artificial, and overcoming this division can make life more beautiful. The characters in her paintings are immersed in the enigmatic space of love, and sometimes ironic scenes that balance the degree of sublimity with encounters with anthropomorphic partners.

Eva's Legacy, Figurative original painting by Tetiana Pchelnykova
Located in Zofingen, AG
This painting is an attempt to blend ancient symbols, contemporary understanding of feminine essence, and profound philosophical contemplations inspired by existentialism and phenomenology. The woman, represented in the image of Eve, stands as an eternal symbol of the beginning of life and the mother of all humanity. Symbols on her body, derived from the idols of the Trypillian culture, speak to the age-old connection of our people with nature, land, and spirituality. The Tree of Life with its apples embodies the immortal bond with lineage and ancestors, as well as a reflection on existence, self-awareness in the world, and relations with others. Existentialist and phenomenological philosophies emphasize individual experience and perception of the world, which are perfectly captured in this painting. Each apple represents a memory passed down from generation to generation, a reminder of roots that deeply reach into the history of our people, and contemplations about our place in the universe.
