ARTIST STATEMENT
I have
travelled the world, from my native Belarus to Asia, the Americas,
and other parts of Europe. I have had the great fortune to interact
with people from around the globe and absorb its many cultures.
What I wish to show in my new Earth series is that our planet itself
is a work of art---a kaleidoscope of colours, a patchwork of
patterns; an interconnected sphere without beginning or end. Viewing
it from space, using Google images, I want this collection to
showcase this amazing entity, in order that we may appreciate and
ultimately save it.
What I have come to appreciate in the past decade is that our planet
itself is a work of art---a kaleidoscope of colours, a patchwork of
patterns; an interconnected sphere without beginning or end. Viewing
it from space, using Google images, I have created my Earth series
to showcase this amazing entity, in order that we may appreciate and
ultimately save it.
We
sometimes need a new perspective. I want people to see the wonder of
the world from above; perhaps as an eagle sees it from a mountain
aerie, a pilot from the cabin of his airplane; the astronaut from
the surface of the moon. A multi-hued orb spinning amongst thousands
of other stars, yet unique.
While my
earlier series zoomed in on the tight confines of urban life in our
metropolises--connecting people to the intimacy of their living
spaces--the Earth series zooms out, taking the long view of our home
from the skies above. My mixed-media creations radiate the colours of
each continent; I try to bring the textures of the planet alive, so
that you can almost feel the heat of the volcanoes, the parched
thirst of the massive deserts, the cool blues of our
all-encompassing oceans. Some parts are smooth, and some are rough
and rugged.
Although
we humans may feel like disconnected, independent fragments, Earth
reminds us that we are all united on this place: notes within a
larger symphony of life. No different from the massive whale in the
ocean or the tiniest needle of a pine tree. There is no way out; to
save ourselves we must save our home.
