AVE MARIA GRACIA

2023

About the Item

ABOUT THE ARTWORK In “AVE MARIA GRACIA,” the artist presents a unique exploration of female identity and her interaction with the world, embodied through symbolic images of flowers with female faces. The work is a deep dive into the themes of self-identity and femininity, utilizing elements of naive art to create a distinct visual language. The work provokes the viewer to reflect on the process of personal identity formation and overcoming self-imposed barriers. The artist uses rich colors and decorative elements, creating a space for deep emotional perception and self-reflection. “AVE MARIA GRACIA” reflects the courage and vulnerability of human existence in a complex world, emphasizing the desire for self-discovery and liberation from socio-cultural constraints. In this work, female images become a symbol of freedom, fragility and strength, expressing the deep connection between nature and culture, the individual and the social. 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.

  • "Water, Roses, Window, Table" bright and airy contemporary impressionist scene
    By Ben Fenske
    Located in Sag Harbor, NY
    "Water, Roses, Window, Table" is a bright and airy contemporary impressionist scene. A large oil painting of an open window's view to the outdoors, painted from an interior of the artist's home in Tuscany. Situated in the kitchen, facing the window, the walls and room appear dark, as they are backlit from the bright daylight streaming in. A small glass vase of roses sit centrally in our view, on the table's surface, glowing with blue light. A small tumbler, or glass of water, sits in the foreground, almost lost within Fenske's loose, wild brushstrokes. Urgent, loose brushstrokes connote impressionism, and bring to mind modern...
