About the Item

ABOUT THE ARTWORK The painting titled "Garden guards" is an evocative fusion of human and avian forms, a surreal ode to the guardians of a mystical orchard. The two central figures, part woman, part bird, stand as sentinels amongst fruit-laden trees, their gazes serene yet penetrating, suggesting a deep connection to the natural world they oversee. The palette is earthy and rich, with warm reds and oranges that echo the natural hues of an abundant garden, contrasting with the cool greens and blues that lend the scene a sense of harmony and tranquility. The artist's brushwork is both fluid and deliberate, with textured strokes that give life to the feathers and foliage, imbuing the scene with a dynamic, almost otherworldly energy. This artwork speaks to the symbiosis between humanity and nature, and the ancient myths that celebrate such relationships. It invites viewers to contemplate the protective spirits that dwell within nature, evoking a sense of wonder and respect for the mysteries that lie just beyond the realm of the seen. Inner Garden Series. Daria explores the possibility of self-identification of a person from fragments of cultures and concepts, her works actualize the thirst for the integrity of the individual in the ever-changing cycle of ideas and meanings. The artist asks about the possibility of being an integral person in the metamodern era, characterized by oscillation between polar concepts and rethinking of fundamental ideas of the past. Her work is an inner response to the question of what integrality is and whether there is a need to strive for certain ideals. Her work is also an external response to the totalitarian concepts that still exist in society. Concepts that are imposed from above require a false integrity, namely a certain ideology, and persecute everything that goes beyond these concepts. Born at the crossroads of Ukrainian and Russian cultures during the collapse of the Soviet Union, Daria manifests the norm of fragmentation as the norm, replacing the demands of integrity with the idea of accepting otherness as unconditional beauty. Her characters build their own world in which culture has not become a dictatorship - the world that Daria considers her home. Here is what Daria herself says about her works I draw hybrid creatures and symbols of an anthropomorphic world because I feel like a hybrid of cultures and identities. I desire wholeness, I love to see it in others, but I feel fragmented in myself. My paintings are my way of coming to terms with my own fragmented identity, and my way of showing that the beautiful does not always have to fit into an already existing framework.
