My Heart Is Not a Stone (2020) Original Mixed-media Painting by Inga Makarova
53 x 69 x 3cm
£3,403.06
Original artwork description
In My Heart Is Not a Stone, Inga Makarova fuses painting, clothing, and text into a provocative sculptural composition that questions identity and vulnerability. A spray-painted, enamel-hardened hoodie is mounted on canvas, partially unzipped to reveal a hand-painted glitter heart and the words “МОЕ СЕРДЦЕ НЕ КАМЕНЬ” (“My heart is not a stone”).
This piece turns a symbol of toughness into a frame for compassion. Often linked to youth subcultures and stereotypes of emotional suppression or delinquency, the tracksuit here becomes a stage for confession, softness, and irony. Makarova invites us to re-examine assumptions – what lies behind an intimidating exterior may be far more human than expected.
Made using enamel, spray paint, glitter and textile on canvas, this piece is ready to hang. A conversation starter, it will appeal to collectors of thought-provoking contemporary works with cultural relevance and strong visual impact.
