This series of works was inspired by the birch bark. She reminds me very much of human lives. Their endless chain, one after another, someone nearby, someone above, someone below. But wherever you are, you are always somewhere in the middle, because no one knows exactly where this chain begins and where it ends.
We live in a world where we may not know anything about a person. Even the birch landscape is conditional, perhaps not even real. And its virtuality thereby makes it accessible to everyone. For everyone and always. We are in endless systems.
We live in a filter world. Transmitting ourselves into the world, we use non-existent, conventional places. These conventional landscapes are available to everyone, but they are not real, but maybe real. My birch forest is a convention, and a person walking through it merges with it, turning into an environment.
The work is done on premium quality linen canvas. The ends are a continuation of the painting. Gallery stretch canvas on a stretcher, 4 cm thick.

Margarita Ivanova is a contemporary Russian painter based in Armenia. Her work delves into the intricacies of human existence and the interconnectedness of individuals within society. She focuses her artistic lens on the concept of personhood, capturing it in its pure essence and as an integral component of the larger social fabric.
Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Margarita often invokes the analogy of a birch forest to convey the complexity of human relationships and the dynamics of contemporary life. Much like the birch trees in her paintings, individuals in society are interconnected, forming an endless chain of human experiences. In her artwork, one can see the proximity of people to one another, their positions relative to each other - some nearby, some above, some below. Yet, Margarita skillfully illustrates that regardless of one's position in this intricate chain, they exist in the middle, for the true origin and conclusion of this human continuum remain shrouded in uncertainty.
Margarita's artistic approach is a fusion of realism and the metamodernist philosophy, blending a tangible representation of human figures with the abstract notions of metamodernism. Her subjects are often depicted in a constant state of balance, teetering between internal and external, personal and collective, real and virtual, obvious and hidden. Even the birch trees in her works mirror this fluctuation, at times appearing realistic, at others, taking on a virtual, vector-like quality. Margarita's art blurs the boundaries between these different dimensions, emphasizing that the line of our lives exists in the ambiguity and the uncertainty of the world around us.
