Original artwork description
Ex Boyfriends (Blue) is a striking work by Inga Makarova that transforms humble denim into a metaphor for personal history. Stitched from cut fragments of jeans and finished in glossy blue enamel, the piece invites the viewer to reflect on themes of attachment, identity, and emotional patterning.
Though the title hints at romantic history, the jeans used are not literal remnants of past relationships. Instead, they symbolise accumulated emotional experiences – pieces of life carried forward and reframed. Makarova’s craftsmanship turns familiar textures into layered abstraction, encouraging the viewer to search for meaning in its folds, seams, and silhouettes.
This is a bold, contemplative work that blurs the line between painting and sculpture. A statement piece for collectors seeking tactile, process-driven, and emotionally intelligent art.
