Description of the Artwork “Dogs, series Lost”
"Lost" is an exhibition about domestic animals affected by Russian aggression. Many animals, both domestic and wild, were killed by shelling, while others now roam on city outskirts, seek shelter in forests, or warm themselves in trenches. Domesticated animals, reliant on humans for survival, face uncertainty in the wild. Their fate raises ethical questions: Is this freedom? Can they survive without humans? These animals remain unnoticed in statistics and media, neither dead nor fully alive. They are lost.
Artwork in the interior
Yasya Volkova, Ukraine
My name is Yasya Volkova, my fans know me under the pseudonym "ratroik", and it so happened that the drawing chose me, not I chose the drawing. I am a self-made artist, I have been painting all my adult life, starting with A4 paper, ending with digital art and large canvases. I have extensive experience in various art forms, including animation and music. My style belongs to expressionism and abstractionism, because I mostly live by emotions, and art for me is a reflection of my feelings, searching for myself and experiencing the world around me. All my works had the function of releasing me from heavy feelings, fear, anxiety, losses and gains. In my works, I often raise difficult social issues such as war, mental health, psychological and physical trauma, the search for truth, the balance between the end and the beginning, death and life. However, the foundation of my work has been and will be my own reflections and my own reflection of experiences, internal mental processes and mental defense. I recognize the unconscious through the prism of colors. Drawing helped me cope with mental illness and became a part of my psychotherapy, as it has been throughout my life. So now I am ready to share with the audience, experts, art lovers from all over the world the foundation of my life - creativity! Thank you for looking at my profile!
