Rina Riga
Artist from Ukraine
Artist and tutor from Kharkiv. I work in the genre of painting and installation, exploring the boundaries between reality and imagination through primary sensations, images and processes of transformation.
Inspired by the works and life of Čiurlionis - Lithuanian composer and painter.
In my practice, I address the themes of instability, transition and finding support in a changing world. A key aspect of my work is memory: its materiality, fragmentation and changeability. It manifests itself in multilayered structures that resemble the processes of birth, decay and rebirth, as if visualizing how memories germinate, collapse and form anew.
The corporeality in my works is a carrier of memory. Organic textures hint at roots, flesh or connections that connect us with the environment and the past. Abstract forms and mythological allusions create a space for reflection on how individual and collective memories influence our perception of reality.
