Nadezda's beautiful new oil on panel painting "Sweetman" (2024) is a surrealist portrait of a young man, wearing goggles, tie-shorts and a seemingly impossible harness made of pies. Finely holding two lollipops out to the viewer, his presence is both inquisitive and lighthearted. He stands in a ribbon swirl of taffy, while a cat stares upwards at him with joy. 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.
