ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"Rising in Unity," this poignant artwork, explores themes of kinship, growth, and the nurturing aspect of nature. The two figures stand as mirror images, their shared gaze and synchronized stance symbolizing a deep bond that transcends the physical realm. The warm, earthy hues of their skin blend seamlessly with the autumnal backdrop, suggesting a oneness with the natural world.

The florals adorning their bodies are painted with a vibrant palette of reds, oranges, and yellows, evoking feelings of passion, creativity, and transformation. These blossoms are not merely decorative but are emblematic of life's flourishing under care and companionship. The artist employs a textural impasto technique, giving the painting a dynamic, three-dimensional quality that invites the viewer to contemplate the layered meanings within. This piece is a testament to the resilience and elevation found in togetherness.

Inner Garden Series. Daria explores the possibility of self-identification of a person from fragments of cultures and concepts, her works actualize the thirst for the integrity of the individual in the ever-changing cycle of ideas and meanings. The artist asks about the possibility of being an integral person in the metamodern era, characterized by oscillation between polar concepts and rethinking of fundamental ideas of the past. Her work is an inner response to the question of what integrality is and whether there is a need to strive for certain ideals.

Her work is also an external response to the totalitarian concepts that still exist in society. Concepts that are imposed from above require a false integrity, namely a certain ideology, and persecute everything that goes beyond these concepts. Born at the crossroads of Ukrainian and Russian cultures during the collapse of the Soviet Union, Daria manifests the norm of fragmentation as the norm, replacing the demands of integrity with the idea of accepting otherness as unconditional beauty. Her characters build their own world in which culture has not become a dictatorship - the world that Daria considers her home.

Here is what Daria herself says about her works

I draw hybrid creatures and symbols of an anthropomorphic world because I feel like a hybrid of cultures and identities. I desire wholeness, I love to see it in others, but I feel fragmented in myself. My paintings are my way of coming to terms with my own fragmented identity, and my way of showing that the beautiful does not always have to fit into an already existing framework.
