Queen Lada. 2021

Concept

I admire people, their faces, their bodies, their movements. Sometimes I can be inspired by a mole or the shape of their eyes. Mostly faces, of course. That uniqueness, the differences, or what at first look seems to be a mistake. The beauty that they radiate. And I'm just looking for a way to express it. Sometimes I find it through form, line, point, and sometimes through color. In reality, this function is performed by clothing, which can transform anyone if the right texture, fabric, color, shape, size is chosen. It's a kind of magic of packaging that helps you see the beautiful inside. And I do essentially the same thing - I decorate and begin to see something new. In this sense, I am more of a decorator than a creator.
Creativity for me is also a way of exploring myself, my limits and my depth. Once a wise man asked me: "Imagine that there are no more people on our planet, and no one will judge or evaluate you. What would you do? That's what defines your path" ...
Even if there were no one else, and no one could judge what I was doing, I would still sit and draw people's faces, looking at the beauty in them and decorating with lines and dots.
