About the Item

In 2023, after 20 years, he returned to the illustrations of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Rapunzel". I wanted to write a couple of stories from a fairy tale, although the series had already been conventionally formed and was published both in books and magazines. I chose this plot of the meeting between the witch with Rapunzel’s cut off braid and the prince in the tower, before he turns out to be blind at the bottom of the tower where the girl was imprisoned. I decided to portray the witch as not scary or elderly. Since appearance in this context is not so important.The plot of the fairy tale itself is, of course, a metaphor, an allegorical language as a prototype of relationships in society, sometimes in the family, a set of behavior patterns, hidden meanings and conflicts of interest. In real life, this leads to sad consequences. At the same time, in a fairy tale, the end is most often the victory of good over evil, which does not always happen in life.

"Where The Swamps Sing" (2024) By Nadezda, Original Oil Surrealist Painting
Located in Denver, CO
Nadezda's beautiful new oil on panel painting "Where The Swamps Sing" (2024) is a surrealist Slavic portrait of a woman dressed in traditional Russian clothing, standing stoically in front of a bizarre scene, with iconography of demons' heads towered up with a cat resting atop it, deep in an abstracted symbolic forest. Nadezda is a painter, sculptor, photographer, and concept artist. Her artwork is focused on narratives carefully gathered from the hidden chambers of her imagination as well as live theater-inspired work with actors, dancers, and models. Like a quilt stitched of poetic realities, Nadezda’s mysterious world defies the mundane. With a non-linear creative process flowing between different media, the artist explores various vantage points in her creations. This dynamic approach inspires her mind’s eye to focus on the worlds within and evoke an uninterrupted, creative transmission which is then channeled through her paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, writing and film.
