Estrangement (Zoom) – Oil Portrait (2022) Original Oil Painting by Anastasia Borodina

Over the past couple of years, Zoom has become one of the main communication tools for people who cannot meet face-to-face. On the one hand, this expands possibilities and makes meetings possible when physical presence is not possible. Still, on the other hand, especially in the long run, it turns communication into imitation and thereby alienates people from each other. I deliberately chose a small format for the portraits, so that they would be as close as possible to the ones we are used to seeing people on a computer screen. I tried to convey the state of people who have been communicating only online for a long t my feelings as an interlocutor on the other side of the screen. To do this, I used more expressive techniques for applying paint on canvas than I usually do. It was essential for me to revive this space in which the interlocutors are. And the contrast between the static poses of the portraits and the dynamic manner of painting seems to me the most suitable for this case.
