Artist Statement
In today's reality, where attention is scattered and man defines himself through objects, the artist Julia Shanaytsa finds in this fragmentation and change a source of inspiration. The human desire to describe oneself through objects, these tiny particles of consumer society, becomes a key point in her art.
In her work, the artist explores attributions and objects as symbols of contemporary existence. In analogy to Renaissance portraits, where each object has its own meaning, today's objects become attributes that characterise us in this ever-changing reality.
The complexity of the contemporary system, where objects are impermanent and subject to
obsolescence, creates a sense of confusion in the individual. However, it is in this shift and change that the artist finds beauty. The ability to capture moments in this fluid flow becomes the source of its creativity.
