From myself
Painting by Olena Koliesnik
31 x 41 cm • Watercolour Paper, Watercolor
One of a kind
This artwork is the entry point into the visual labyrinth of the “Run” reaction, where the main opponent is my own motionless shadow. I have many questions for myself, demands, and ideas, so I dedicated the first work of the series to the one that does not leave us until the last - we ourselves. I emphasize the violation of integrity and haste. I thought about the issues of normality, demands, ideas, and expectations while creating this work. The hero’s pose has shifted from the previous section “Attack”, he now clearly saw his own shadow in front of him. The background around is covered with cracks and fractures. The nature of which ranges from internal dilemmas to external protests.
The first work from the “Escape” section of the “Solomon’s Paradox” series is 18 paintings about how the psyche saves itself when it is no longer possible to think.
