About the Item

ABOUT THE ARTWORK "Ecstasy of Saint Teresa" is an evocative piece that captures the transcendental moment of spiritual rapture. The central figure, poised in a state of divine surrender, is enveloped by a warm, celestial light that seems to emanate from her very core. Her upward gaze and the peaceful repose of her posture suggest a deep connection with the divine, a moment of sacred communion beyond the earthly realm. The background, a tapestry of vibrant hues and spirited brushstrokes, creates a dynamic contrast to the figure's serene composure. The interplay of fiery reds and soothing greens around her forms an aura of passion and tranquility. This painting is not just a visual feast but a portal to the contemplation of the sublime, encouraging a pause and reflection on the profound moments of human experience. 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.
