CONCEPTUAL ART


My art is an exploration of the relationship between humans, society, and the technological age we live in. I am inspired by the rapid changes of the past century: the rise of digital technology, the acceleration of life, and the transformation of traditional roles, especially the role of women.
In my work, I address themes of lost humanity, dependence on technology, and the blurring of boundaries between the real and virtual worlds. I see how people are becoming "prisoners of screens," losing emotional connections with themselves and others. These changes also affect female identity, which I explore through the lens of beauty, motherhood, and social roles.
I work in a postmodernism style, combining realistic and symbolic elements. My palette and compositions convey deep emotions and irony, helping viewers recognize issues that often go unnoticed. I reinterpret classical images and cultural archetypes, giving them modern meanings to highlight topics such as automation, consumerism, and the deconstruction of femininity.
My goal is not only to reflect social challenges but also to inspire dialogue. I want my work to make people think about their role in the world, the fragility of human connections, and the beauty we can create despite destructive trends. To me, art is both an act of resistance and a way of healing. My work is an invitation to reflect on how we can preserve our humanity in a world that is rapidly losing it. 

EXHIBITION "GOLDEN CAGE"
"Golden Cage" explores overproduction, the illusion of comfort, and our dependence on endless consumption. We are surrounded by objects that promise happiness, yet the more we accumulate, the deeper we find ourselves trapped in a gilded cage, losing our freedom of choice.

Golden Cage

$2300

The painting speaks about consumer culture, where values and meaning are lost in the flow of goods and desires. It raises the question: does material wealth truly bring satisfaction, or is it just an endless cycle of accumulation? The whirlwind above the shopping cart may symbolize chaos, the destructive impact of mindless consumption, or the inner emptiness that can never be filled with purchases.

Golden Rush

$2300

The painting illustrates how the modern industry creates needs and shapes desires through advertising. People become endless consumers, drawn into a cycle of excess, where buying and consuming are presented as the ultimate source of happiness. The cupcake here symbolizes the sugar trap that entangles modern individuals.

Your Choice

$2300

The idea behind the painting is to reflect on the freedom of choice and its consequences. The symbolic composition resembles a scale, where one side holds a tempting burger, while the other features the silhouette of a pear—embodying two opposing paths. These contrasting images symbolize the decision between instant gratification and long-term benefit.

Podium of Life

$2300

All the figures in the composition resemble paper dolls, evoking childhood memories where ideals were imposed through games, templates, and notions of "normalcy." This painting is a reflection on how a society driven by consumption and standardization shapes individual identity. It raises questions of choice: to be oneself or conform to imposed norms, to meet expectations or risk being excluded from the system.

Light in the End of Tunnel

$2300
This painting exposes the modern reality in which desires are shaped from the outside rather than from within. It is a symbol of illusory happiness imposed on us through advertising and societal expectations. Contemporary consumer culture dictates that success and happiness are measured by possessions, especially expensive brands. People chase material symbols of status because they fear "not fitting in."

Dream without Commintment

$2300

The painting was created under the influence of film Breakfast at Tiffany.
It highlights the social culture of consumption, where physical and material standards are imposed by society. The little black dress, symbolizing elegance, sophistication, and the "ideal," becomes a metaphor for an unattainable standard that marketing and mass culture enforce upon people

Act Fast

$2300

The painting explores the topic of manipulation in advertising and pressure on consumers. It is about how marketing makes us buy faster, more and without thinking, creating the illusion of urgency.

The City of Disposable Fates

$2300

The painting evokes a sense of unease, prompting reflection on the future of our planet. It conveys the idea that the pursuit of unlimited growth and mass production can lead to the depletion of natural resources, environmental pollution, and the loss of harmony between nature and humanity.
