ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The painting "My spring sounds even in this darkness" from the “Inner Garden Series” conveys the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to find warmth, creativity, and renewal even in the midst of uncertainty and obscurity. It is an exploration of inner light—one that does not fade in the face of external darkness but continues to resonate, like music that defies silence.
At its heart, this work reflects a deep connection between emotional endurance and the natural cycles of life. Just as spring inevitably follows winter, moments of clarity and hope persist even in difficult times. The painting suggests that creativity and self-expression are not luxuries but vital forces that sustain and nurture the soul when the world feels heavy.
It also speaks to the idea of companionship and inner refuge. Strength does not always come from isolation—it can be found in the presence of something familiar, something that offers comfort and understanding without words. The act of playing music symbolizes a conscious decision to create beauty despite the surrounding darkness, an affirmation that light and renewal come from within.
Ultimately, this piece is about defiance—not in the sense of rebellion, but in the quiet, unwavering refusal to be consumed by despair. It is an ode to the moments when one chooses to continue singing, creating, and believing in the return of spring, even before its warmth can be felt.
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.

2012 Collaborate Project Light of Hearts, Luhansk Ukraine Dasha Pogodina about her art New sexuality and personal integrity - are the basic areas of search in my artistic practice.
In my practice, I problematize the ideal of the metamodern world with its total moderation and the desire to return to high ideals and values. As an artist, I concentrate on the nature of the corporeal, I perceive the body as a membrane reflecting me into this world and communicating the world to me. In search of answers, I enter into dialogue with the body-sensory lexicon of Kiki Smith and Paula Modersohn Becker and also find support in the sublime physicality of the early Gothic of the 13th century from Giotto, unencumbered by the tension of formal anatomy. My works are filled with color, and ethnic decoration and are illustrative at the same time. This turns my paintings into light, at first glance, stories, which, however, do not call the viewer to cold contemplation, but, on the contrary, open up the opportunity to safely return to their secret “I”.
I use the space of naive archetypal images, creating a safe haven from aggressive modernity, with the opportunity to dive into the psychological depths of my own worldview. I build into my paintings the mechanics of oscillation of naivety and mockery, trust and cynicism, chastity and debauchery, strength and kindness, as a manifesto of courage to be vulnerable and herbivorous in a world where food chains still exist.
