A trilogy about feelings-2 (2021), Iuliia Sumkina (J.Bag'S), Acrylic on Canvas, 254x203.2 cm
An intimate, committed and powerfully contemporary work
Each of J.Bag'S's paintings tells a story, capturing fragments of humanity through declarations of love, inner cries, or lucid looks at our society.
In A Trilogy About Feelings – 2 , she explores with rare sensitivity the beginnings of passionate love. The mystery, the desire, the electric tension between two people before fusion: everything is celebrated in a suspended staging, like a visual poem where raw emotions take shape before surrendering to the moment.
The Masculinity (2023), Iuliia Sumkina (J.Bag'S), Acrylic on Canvas, 100x80 cm
With The Masculinity (2023), she tackles a burning issue with remarkable finesse: the redefinition of modern masculinity. Through a sober and symbolically charged aesthetic, she paints the portrait of a man whose strength no longer lies in domination, but in support, respect, and love. This work is a true ode to a benevolent virility, a powerful counterpoint to the toxic clichés that are still omnipresent.
Finally, in Adventures of Scrooge – 2 , the artist plays with the codes of pop culture to deliver a critique of our times that is as ironic as it is brilliant. A Greek bust, banknotes, a triumphant Scrooge: so many elements that collide to question our relationship to power, wealth and cultural heritage.
