About the Item
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The artwork titled "Towards the Real Me" presents a thought-provoking blend of the figurative and the whimsical. Dominated by a vivid spectrum of turquoise and coral reds, the painting depicts a nude female figure poised confidently atop a spirited red boar, symbolizing a journey towards self-discovery and authenticity.
The use of color in this piece is both striking and symbolic. The reds are bold and passionate, suggesting vitality and the courage to move forward, while the calming turquoise imbues the scene with a sense of wisdom and protection. The checkerboard pattern on the ground introduces a classical element, evoking the game of life's unpredictable nature.
This painting's brushwork is expressive and energetic, with the artist utilizing a variety of strokes that add a tactile quality to the depiction of skin and fur, further highlighting the wild and untamed spirit of the subjects. The stylized foliage and script-like elements suggest a narrative waiting to be uncovered, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own path to finding inner truth.
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.
