Description of the Artwork “The song of Creator Painting”
It’s a risky journey. Entering a “hall of mirrors,” a kaleidoscopic world where realities are inverted into illusions, beauty into menace, can indeed be perilous. A Kafkaesque-exploration riddled with distortions, mind-altering seductions, and even the bizarre. Yet life typically demands such forays. Especially if Enlightenment is the ultimate pursuit. One bold enough to tackle such an adventurous trip into self-discovery will often confront sheer confusion—the many faces of Human Nature. Virtue versus Evil. Beauty grappling with the Beast. Conviction eclipsed by overwhelming doubt. Such encounters with Life’s ever-bewildering existential “norms” are more than Cosmological Dualism, a passion play pitting powerful human instincts in a symbolic moralistic struggle. More critically, this quest for certainty is rebellion, a demand for freedom. Standing defiant, refusing conformity, this pictured provocateur rejects the dystopian, a world where knowledge is tightly guarded and kept hidden by scowling centurions, bent on keeping seekers of the Truth in a wild wilderness of ever-mushrooming doubt. She stands firm, purposeful. Cautious but still confident. Unlike any wild dreamer, or Tolstoyan anarchist, she has no desire to blow up this “Ministry of Secrets.” She simply wants entrance into this castle. A mere mortal, invariably swept into Life’s forest of swirling, always fleeting impressions and contradictions, she also looks weary, yet still hopeful. She knows great psychological turmoil will continue, that her struggle with what’s inspired, what’s real, the battle between the individual, the self and society always persists. For now though, she only hopes to escape the infernal wilderness, to find some illumination, to reach those outstretched hands of benevolent, uplifting knowledge.

Irina Greciuhina, Moldova
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.
