Education (2025) Original Oil Painting by Anastasiia Grygorieva

Title: Education
Size: 100 x 100 cm, oil on canvas, 2019–2025
Series: The Pathos of Bureaucracy

Description:
This painting reflects the idea that in our world, being intelligent is not enough — one must also have the courage to use that intelligence for something greater, something collective.

When I began this work, I painted an apple and an android — symbols of two contrasting worlds that humanity has divided itself into. Yet the composition felt incomplete until I added the emblem of ChatGPT in the center. For me, it represents the new core of education and self-education — a symbol of how technology and human curiosity now intertwine to shape our shared understanding of knowledge.

“Education” invites viewers to contemplate the evolution of learning and the courage it takes to think freely in an age of systems, symbols, and artificial intelligence.
