Original artwork description:

Series "Calendars". "Grey calendar 1" is another picture from the large series "Calendars". These are old paper calendars. Sometimes they left notes on the pages of such calendars, marked important dates. And these marks on faceless calendars became separate stories that could be considered and studied separately. The picture is made on natural linen canvas, part of the canvas is left unpainted, which speaks of authenticity and creates a certain mood.
I work with various painting materials, exploring the possibilities of representation of perception hidden in them - not of the visual environment, but of vision itself. For me, painting is an experience that celebrates contemplation not in the objects depicted, but in the vibrations of the light and air, in the transparency of the composition and the sonority of the colour. The painting is a symbolic projection, which, like a sensitive membrane, is capable of capturing the subtle nuances of perception itself - imperceptible on functionalist levels of communication.

As an artist, I am interested in an approach to cognition that is based on intuition. According to Henri Bergson, the intuitionist method makes it possible to go beyond apperception - to see what lies beyond what is already known and adapted to the modern model of thinking. Intuition is what enables us to free ourselves from patriarchal norms, segregations and artificial ideals.
