The series of paintings "Divo Divnoe" (The Amazing Wonder) is an evolution of art, a deep, sentimental respect for tradition, and the full immersion into the artwork with the help of the ancient, historical symbol of the matryoshka (the Russian nested doll). It is a performance of its own, where the viewer is directly involved through glimpsing their reflection in the glassy copper surface of the canvas, for a moment writing themselves into history.
The silhouette of the matryoshka, symbolizing the continuation of life and acting as a guide, manifests as an intersection point between eras linked by well-known literary masterpieces that gracefully hover over the multilayered complexity of Russian art.
«Divo Divnoe» is a unique and unconventional reminder that we are our history. It is a modern man’s journey into the art of the past, contextualizing the present.
The series includes:
1. Vasnetsov, "Bogatyrs" / "The Tale of Igor's Campaign"
2. Malevich, "Sportsmen" / Mayakovsky, "Comrades, argue about the red sport!"
3. Polenov "Moscow Courtyard" / "War and Peace" Lev Tolstoy
4. Kiprensky, "Portrait of Alexander Pushkin" / Pushkin, «Kapitanskaya dochka» 
5. Petrov-Vodkin, "Bathing of the Red Horse" / Akhmatova, "Twenty first. Night. Monday"

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Lacquer

Paint made with a resin from tree sap, various shrubs or with lacquer paints based on thermosetting resins. The technique consists in superimposing layers of lacquers with a vigorous polishing between each layer. It is mostly smooth shiny, but can sometimes also be satin or very Matt.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

It may be surprising, but Daria Kolosova was born beyond the Polar Circle, in the harsh Arctic climate of Yakutia under the real northern lights. The Eskimos call this phenomenon "The Call of the North Star", the Finns say "Fox Fires", and the Chinese are sure that a child born under the Northern Lights will be talented. And so it happened! Now my paintings are a part of private collections in virtually all countries of the world! Paintings on real copper have become my calling card, since my team and I did a thorough research on copper sheets and developed a unique copper canvas and its coating. The production technology of "copper ingots" is kept secret. My style is pop-realism or "VIP pop art" for those who want a bright popular image in an elite presentation. Dazzlingly bold and chic, they are written for those who look for depth, meaning, something more than just pop-art.
