The idea for this painting was born in the spring when the entire avenue next to my house was blanketed in white cherry blossoms. It portrays the queen of the cherry orchard, a figure who appears somewhat melancholic, exuding both beauty and a hint of an underlying, almost bloodthirsty quality. Perhaps she is weary of her responsibilities and yearns for liberation.

Recently, I came across the word "liberosis," and I felt it perfectly encapsulated the mood of this painting. Liberosis is the desire to be free from the burdens, pressures, and constraints of adulthood. It's an emotion experienced by those who long to return to the carefree days of childhood, unburdened by the complexities of daily life and worries about the future.

The term "liberosis" was first coined in 2006 by John Koenig in his "Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows," where he invents and defines neologisms for emotions that lack precise descriptive terms.

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.

Surrealism

Founded in 1923 by the writer André Breton, it will unite many artists like Salvador Dali (1904-1989), Max Ernst, René Magritte (1898-1967), Victor Brauner (1903-1966). Influenced by psychoanalysis, they see psychic life as a new field for renewing the arts. They will develop new ways to create and use new materials.

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.

Julia Kuzina

Russia

Julia Kuzina, a contemporary Russian painter, delves into the realms of pop surrealism to bring forth a series of paintings that evoke a disquieting sense of anticipation for destruction and the emergence of a post-apocalyptic world. Despite this foreboding theme, her artworks elicit conflicting emotions of both peace and anxiety. Within each creation, Kuzina skillfully combines elements of pain and love, ugliness and beauty, resulting in compositions that stir a range of contradictory emotions.

Working in the style of imaginary realism and employing oil on canvas, Julia Kuzina is a participant in numerous exhibitions both in Russia and abroad. She holds membership in the Creative Union of Artists of Decorative and Applied Arts and the Artists Trade Union of Russia.

Her art transcends borders, finding a place in private collections across the globe, including the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Taiwan, Australia, and Russia. Julia's paintings serve as visual narratives, telling stories that embody the world of emotions through surreal images. Themes revolving around the intricate relationship between humanity and nature unfold within the captivating canvases she creates.
