REVERSE RUSH (2020) Painting by Anastasia Stazhevskaya

The inspiration for this work was the concept of conflict. The phenomenon itself occurs when oppositely directed and incompatible with each other views on certain issues collide. Conflict is opposition of participants in the interaction. It can involve both several people and one person. Most often, this is accompanied by a surge of negative emotions.
The animal grins and claws depict this negativity in the picture. Monster poses are saturated with aggression and readiness to attack from colorful waves, which is a stream of human consciousness, that essentially creates such a hostile pattern.
The ability to change the location of the artwork parts relative to each other shows that conflicts are divided into internal and external.
This is an image of an external conflict, when the stream of consciousness is one and is in the middle, and the animals are directed in opposite directions from each other. That is, the conflict between the organism and the environment where a clash occurs between a person’s position and the outside world (someone or something).
Another location talks about the internal confrontation. This is a conflict between the elements of the personality structure. Consciousness, now, surrounds the battlefield of oppositely directed value orientations of the individual. The main causes of internal conflict are difficulties in choosing a solution, inadequate self-image, excessive claims, opposite motives of self-affirmation.
The human psyche has the ability to translate external contradictions into internal ones and vice versa. A person with unconscious internal splitting is forced to put him in communication with other people. On the other hand, a person who shies away from solving external problems may find himself in the grip of his internal contradictions.
To summarize, the art was created so that people would remember that it is necessary to conduct an internal introspection to realize their true desires, needs and feelings, to avoid acute negative emotional experiences in any type of conflict. This will help them to develop own value system and the ability to be responsible for the decisions, even in the case of the wrong choice.
