One can only imagine their conversations, the communion, that rare unity between Daisy and the “pioneer” of colorful abstract art back in Munich during the late 1890s. They would slowly walk together, dog and the still-struggling Wassily Kandinsky, who would use these relaxful strolls to reflect, and to allow his special imagination to soar. A host of other artists through time—Warhol, Georgia O’Keefe, Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and Klimt—have all found inspiring companionship in their pets. Amid this bonding, there is harmony, a singular purity that allows the artist to stand under a captivating lunar eclipse, to essentially ignore its alchemy, and to discover her own illumination, strength and imagination. She’s a bit weary, having already traveled to other dimensions (with a dog) is always tiring. He too must be emotionally and spirituaally nourished. But her loyal bulldog companion has already taken a determined leap, crossing into another sphere of creativity, and so she too must jump over barriers. Freedom demands that. The immutable spirit of Kandinsky demands that. It must still be a thoughtful, well-executed leap. Not just a purely impulsive one. Dog has shown the way, bounding into all sorts of new atmospheres. new fertile terrains. Yet his lady in red must collect her thoughts, reimagine her perceptions to take them well past any confining barriers, and well beyond any recognizable universes. Is bravery needed? Of course! Must she take limitless, even unearthly risks? Of course! But that wire barrier, in a sense, has already disintegrated. She doesn’t have to fear getting trapped by the ordinary. Her loyal friend has already shown his well-grounded, boundless courage. She can too! © Greciuhina&Kiersh
I Live and work in Moldova For many years I have been leading an architectural bureau, working closely with interiors, textures, colors and product design. Architectural background is giving me a lot of ideas and knowledge, that I am transforming into my artworks. I am perceiving a process of the art creation as my personal cult and intimate ritual which gives me a freedom of expression. In my artistic practice I am interested in recording and showing the diversity and ambiguity of human nature as well as the mystery of all aspects of human personality. The main theme of my art is a study of the archetypes of a woman. I am recreating female images from different sources around me, including everyday life, fashion magazines and even internet. I keep wondering how personality and world perception of a woman can be affected by the external factors such as giving birth to a child, building a family or even changing the gender roles. The choice of this subject is stipulated by a continuous self-study, as an artist and as a woman, thus perceiving it as the most interesting and the dearest topic to me. Depicting female figures in a particular manner, I am placing them in the most unusual settings coming from the depth of my subconsciousness. Surrealism and interpretation of dreams, became strong references to me, but I am expressing them in a post-modern way, mixing bright colors, catchy poses from the posters, decorative elements and patterns with the typical elements of pop art. Full of peculiar details, my artworks are inviting the viewer to wonder, who are these women on the canvas and what is their story. Using mostly acrylic paint and working on large-scale canvases, recently I’ve started to experiment with digital art, studying how the new technologies can affect my creative process, giving me new ideas and skills.
