Original artwork description:

This striking mixed-media abstract offers a convergence of painting and sculptural elements. The canvas achieves its powerful presence through a rigorous multi-layered application of paint saturated with texture paste, organic dried herbs, and sand. The addition of Gold Leaf acts as a beacon, dramatically reflecting light to create stark contrast and emphasize the composition's energy. This piece is intentionally designed as a tactile object, demanding engagement beyond mere visual contemplation.
Inspiration:
The conceptual foundation is a biocentric commitment to Deep Ecology, coupled with a deep dive into Bergson’s Philosophy of Time. This work explicitly explores the concept of "matter's memory"—how the material components (earth, botanicals) encapsulate the history of their temporal existence. Created by a Ukrainian artist, the "Depths of Freedom" series is profoundly inspired by the ongoing fight for national resilience, positioning nature as the ultimate, reliable source of strength and light in challenging times.
Message:
This artwork transmits the vital notion that freedom, like nature, is eternal and cyclical. The core communication is an appeal for deep connection and the restoration of natural alignment with the cycles of growth, decay, and rebirth. Through the raw, tactile surface, I aim for a powerful emotional resonance in the viewer—highlighting the fragile, yet unbreakable, bond between the human spirit and the Earth. It is an invitation to an introspective dialogue on identity and enduring universal strength.
