Against the stream

Nadiia Gorbatova, Ukraine

To be honest, I don't pursue global mission to change the world, make it better, cleaner or brighter. I don't feel myself like " Liberty Leading the People ". I don't want to write about social themes, religion, revolution and other sharp themes. For me, everything is easier and complicated at the same time. I want to Be, human can't be in peace with world if he is not in peace with himself. My Art is first of all about peace with myself There is nothing more scary for me than ugliness of soul, like black, burned out desert, without plants or even drop of rain, this soul can't love, tender , being happy or quiet sorrow, we don' t find there even hate or anger, just emptiness. That's how I see absolute hell. And I rise against it with all my soul If I am scared - I cry, if trembling - I pray, if I am in love - I thanks God for this feeling. I live until I feel My Art is about it. About me. About world, how I see it, about people and how I feel them. About confusion, anxiety, delight, joy, pride, tenderness, love Art is like a prayer for me. And when you hear how God answers to you, you can make incredible things
