FLORA. 13th

About the Item

ABOUT THE ARTWORK "FLORA. 13th" is a deeply evocative piece that explores the symbiosis between the human form and the natural world. The painting features a figure with floral motifs that bloom across her skin, intertwined with the delicate textures of foliage that frame her. Earthy tones of umbers and siennas blend with lavender and viridian, creating a tapestry of nature's palette that breathes life into the canvas. The artist's brushwork is both fluid and controlled, with a softness that suggests a dream-like quality. This work speaks to the eternal relationship between humanity and nature, suggesting a unity and coexistence that transcends the boundaries between the two. The use of color and texture in this painting is not only a visual feast but also a narrative device, telling a story of growth, beauty, and the organic complexity of life. 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.
