What do you see in this artwork?
It is incredible how something that visually different from the forest can nevertheless feel exactly like the forest. The black colour creates so much depth in the very natural chaos of the foreground that one starts to think that something like that can only be created by nature.

Look for 20 seconds. What do you see?
I find this work very intriguing. It is liquid, almost gooey, the spherical forms are quite feminine. I get an impression there are various currents running through this painting at different angles. So my first impression - it is a mess and a true chaos. For me it symbolises life itself. Something I probably will never fully understand. And yet it draws you in with its depth, reminding you that one should still try and understand. Very powerful!

On top a tree, looking down at branches below, at different distances from where I am.

How does this artwork make you feel?
This artwork gives me a feeling of solidity and robustness. The rhythm created by the lines is very powerful and gives a sense of dynamism, but with certainty.

How does this artwork make you feel?
I feel that the artworks exudes energy. Every muscle is tense, directed by a strong unyielding mind. The bodies are purposeful tools. A true 'mind over matter' principle captured on canvas. No wonder it is reminiscent of the social monumental statutes of the 20th century.

What do you see in this artwork?
I see this painting as a manifestation of a gift or an offering. It makes me think that life is best described as a gift. It is warm, bright, there is a horizon to dream about, there is real saturation to it. It is all just there for us, available and slightly unstable, like the angle of the surface the fruits are on. The oyster is the most detailed and intricate part of the painting and it is also the food that requires the most culture and civilization to enjoy it. One rarely enjoys an oyster on their first tasting. Someone knew to cut a slice of lemon and put it there for you, someone knows that you will enjoy it. It creates a sense that your culture is shared with someone else and that someone took care for you. In one word - wonderful!

Look for 20 seconds. What do you see?
I like that the technique is somewhat polygonal. It reminds me of machine vision, of test footage from a robot or a self-driving car, compiling many layers of information at different spectrum so that it has the best chance of interpreting the situation correctly. I don't think the robot would do a good job here though. It will be perplexed, the true meaning of care is reserved for humans only.

What do you see in this artwork?
This reminds me of a story of a wounded soldier. After many days spent wounded in the battlefield, cut off from his comrades, one morning, because of the fog of war, he couldn’t see the sun and thought it didn’t rise that day. He thought he was already in hell. But the sun always rises!

How does this artwork make you feel?
I like how the lines of this painting create the sense of fluidity and softness. Figures appear as if in a dream, which I think lets the painting appeal straight to the viewer's subconscious. And in the subconscious, blank faces let you fill in the rest with you own images, that can either scare you or sooth you. Masterfully executed to a great psychological effect.

Beautiful piece! A real fusion. It is interesting that the figure appears to be both christian and eastern, where good and evil forces are delineated in a completely different way. This work is not about delineation though, but about symbiosis of those things that we can all find within us. The yin and yang have many forms.

Incredible composition! It is somehow so dynamic and perfectly balanced. A pure joy to look at!

What do you see in this artwork?
I feel that the artwork is somehow very stable. It is dynamic in the sense that one gets a feeling that the circles are either expanding like in an explosion or are falling into the center as if driven by some artistic gravitational force. Somehow it is obvious for me that they are gravitating towards the center, making the whole composition very stable. Wonderful work!

How does this artwork make you feel?
This work is so fresh and unconventional. I wonder what it is like to live with this artwork at home. It is very natural in both literal and aesthetic sense of the word. It is also very intriguing and prompts you to explore and ask questions. It looks soft, but it is rigid in real life? What is it like to touch? A very exciting piece!
Yehor Serdiuk

Look for 20 seconds. What do you see?
It is very gentle balance between softness and sharpness, the foreground is somehow blurry and crisp at the same time. As if you let go of the focus and let the landscape mix up, and only then things suddenly become clear.
