In this work I show the world around us with an open mind, as it was before, as it is, and as it will be, as it always has been. Samsara spins and life itself remains unchanged, even as people, situations and environments change. The chosen theme aims to reflect reality, so in my paintings I want to show an ordinary life, even a peaceful one, which for me has hardly changed at all, because we create life around us. Except that in some months the smells diminished when everything was interrupted by the sterility and the vacuum in which the city was immersed, when we took off and put on the veil and each time performed the ritual of purification with the sacred disinfectant.
The images capture hikes into the countryside, time at home, time on the street near a dirt road. Sometimes the smell is less because I have to wear a veil in traffic, shopping malls and other public places, sometimes the pleasant smells are more, sometimes the smells are unpleasant and there are too many. Each picture will have a few scenes with our lives, with a certain season, I am inspired by the works of Rittstein or the Wimmelbuch book. And also works by Kaws, Kandinsky, Franz Mark, Paul Klee, and the Schmidt group.

My creative journey
I was born in Siberia. Since I was a little girl I liked to paint and invent different characters. When I was seven, my mother sent me to art school. Painting, drawing, illustration and art history were taught, but the teaching methods were mean templates, and students' self-expression was suppressed in favor of the same program for everyone. As a participant in a painting competition, I went abroad for the first time, to Bulgaria, where I discovered the existence of alternative art. It was a turning point: in time I realized that I would not be able to develop my artistic abilities in Russia. I started looking for opportunities to study in Europe. In 2014 I moved to the Czech Republic, where I received my Master's degree from the University of West Bohemia in 2021.
At the university I realized that when I paint people I use a lot of details, I try to capture the atmosphere of the painting and the person is unnecessary there, but remains the central character for the viewer. So for the first time, in my bachelor's thesis on Generation Y, I painted a person without a face, without gender, without colour. In the scenes depicted in the painting, everyone can find themselves.
After my son was born, my sense of smell intensified. Everyone told me that baby smell was the most pleasant smell in the world and that I had to inhale it. So I breathed in his top and found that I could see colorful auras, which turned out to be a synesthesia scent. So I drew a series of pictures of the smells during the pandemic.But they were small square abstractions, and I couldn't shake the idea of combining the smells of my surroundings into one image.That's how my four paintings (the grotesque as a mirror of reality) came about.

What do I want to express with my work?
I consider art to be a deeply personal act: the artist must experience what he paints in order to charge the paintings with his own energy. So everyone, without reading the description of the painting, feels a special relationship to it.
I have lived all my life in big cities where contact with nature is quite common. In my paintings, the viewer is not confronted with literal nature, nor with landscapes, not even with the conditioned, but with an abstract background - which expresses feelings, my inner perception of external nature.
