Original artwork description:

In the series of works “The Rhythms of the Forest” Daria uses watching over the forest areas as a basis. The forest’s form is enigmatic and at the same time unknown. The forest are fascinating, they bring you into a meditative state with their visual rhythms. They have their own rhythms of the twigs, the grass, the flowers, the rhythms of the light and shadows, of sunlight patches in the tree crowns. The more you watch this, the easier you come into a state of calmness and balance. No wonder that in many fairy tales the forest areas were specially used for initiation ceremonies, where the main character had to cope with the certain challenges and thus got the important life experience.

In the series of works “The Rhythms of the Forest” the artist wants to show the mysterious space of woods via its rhythmic structures, which bring you into the trance, calm down, and give the power for reaching the new horizons. In these works, Daria mixes two techniques - the monotyping and plastic relief printing.
