The work belongs to the painting series ‘Natural & Instinctive’.
The square plane consists of two patterns of the same size: there is a scorpion portrayed on the right and the vegetational stylization on the left. The composition offers another perspective of interpretation of the theme of the vital potentials of living beings of our planet.
The armored body is carved with symmetrical sand-colored inserts as an allusion to the day’s hiding place, where the scorpion gains strength before the night hunt. Somewhere between them we can imagine several pairs of sharp eyes that help such a primitive and at the same time justified instinct of self-preservation. This image of one of the hundreds of species of arachnids offers a kind of example of kalokagathia, because isn’t it true that there is a scorpion like understanding of good pulsating under the obvious external beauty – for itself and for its victim?
The composition is filled with mysterious ornamental thickets on the left. The exotic opened flowers, which are interspersed with red strokes, are an irrational and illogical echo of wildlife and restless freedom. The black background provides for the contrast of the image.
All visual signs present in my work speak to your sphere of subconscious, in which the ‘straitjackets’ of culture cease to work. The painting urges you to look at your existence from within its naturalness and instead of dead ideals or exhausting simulacra to experience the luxuries of harmony of Eros and Thanatos, the mystery of which no one has solved.
