Oil painting "Withered Gift" (2017) Schilderij door Kate Kamington

With my works I want to reflect the current trends of our time, because, including the painting, you can track the history of mankind.

1. I want to show that photos and videos are not competitors of painting, but only assistants opening up new opportunities. As the cinema is not able to force out the theater, so the camera in each smartphone only makes the artist move apart the usual horizons.

2. These works are allegory to the age, aging of the women. Now all sorts of social topics affecting tolertness and equal rights are acute in the world. And in this series of works I want to prove to everyone that every age has its own beauty, which is absolutely unfair when a man in 40+ is considered "in the prime of his life", whereas a woman is a "withering flower".
With oil and canvas, I reflect the reality, I show that the dry rose is no less beautiful than the young bud, that it is simply different. In dry colors, you can see all the veins that were previously hidden by youth, just like people in the folds near the eyes you can understand how much this person is smiling. At the age, as well as at a rose other aroma, more spicy and astringent and not less fine than thin aroma of a young flower.
With the help of painting I want to convey the idea that a person is not so bad as he thinks himself, that not everything needs to be changed, that there are things to be taken with dignity!
