nude woman with tattoo (2011)Pastel drawing
by Kateryna Bortsova

This series were created under a certain influence of movies, e.g. ‘Aliens’. But I did not see any works of Hans Rudolf Giger both before and in the process of creating the present series. Only after one of spectators told me that my works are similar to his movies I got interested in his works and studied them.
In pictures of the series we can see a little bit frightening images of people who got adapted to the new world and more severe living conditions. Their bodies have well defined muscles with a lot of tattoos, body piercing and metal details. Humanity bred such new people and created a new world they live in by its own forces. Although the series may have gloomy impression, the title itself bears a hope for optimistic future, for rebirth. Therefore I believe in humanity as the author of this work. Despite any difficulties human will survive and will go on developing but at another curve of civilization.
