About the Item

ABOUT THE ARTWORK The artwork titled "Woman Nude - ANTIFRAGILE" presents a striking juxtaposition of serenity and chaos, a profound exploration of resilience and the human spirit. At the center of the tumultuous blend of vibrant pink and green graffiti lies a woman in repose, her closed eyes and peaceful expression a sanctuary of calm amidst the storm of vivid colors and words surrounding her. The contrast in this piece is intentional and thought-provoking. The raw, almost aggressive energy of the background script clashes with the soft, gentle curves of the female form, illustrating the concept of antifragility – the ability to thrive in the face of disorder. The artist's use of mixed media gives the work a palpable texture, with the thick, impasto-like application of paint adding a dimensional quality to the canvas. The deliberate strokes and bold color palette convey emotion and movement, inviting the viewer to contemplate the strength found in vulnerability and the beauty in the midst of upheaval. 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.
