ANTONYMY IN VIOLET

by natalya pravda · Dnipro, UA

The antonymy in my work is a fantasy. Everything has its opposite. Strength manifests itself in weakness, beauty in ugliness. And the boundary that limits the transition often becomes invisible. A new image is born. The work is built on contrasts. The contrast is tactile and visual as well as emotional. The beauty of the human body is a powerful magnet, evoking a variety of feelings and emotions. Nudity can be defenseless and powerful at the same time. The smoothness of gentle curves, strong honed shapes, color, angle of inclination cause a storm of conscious and uncontrollable impulses. I continue to explore my interest in nature beyond this space. I try to allow the painting to create itself, to create the conditions in which it will grow, to become something. I don't build the painting brick by brick like you would build a brick wall, I more create the conditions and let things happen and suddenly they do. So I rely a lot on the nature of the materials I use, so sometimes it's really an exploration, like you go into a space you've never been in before and discover things you didn't know existed. My paintings are shipped carefully packed between sheets of plywood (or in a well-strengthened envelope if it is a paper work), sent via a traceable courier, insured for the cost of the work. Delivery is by EMS. Because of the war Russia has started against my country, international shipping can take about a month. I try to ship all orders within 2 business days.
