oshibana, acrylic, resin
wooden frame
“American Beauty” is the first work made in the resin oshibana technique. It is a reference to the same name movie - a tale of liberation, to live with satisfaction after you achieve what you want. The glancing surface of the artwork makes its colors brighter and more intensive, some tender petals were damaged by resin and dark spots occurred, which gives the artwork some depth and vintage look.

«HEART», 2015
40 х 50 cm
oshibana on reused cardboard
The second work in the "Flo ver" series is "Heart". It is intentionally made larger than “Head” to emphasize its importance in the context of the series . Petals were infected with mold fungus to make it alive. Mold is gradually damaging the petals, so the picture is slowly changing over time. “Heart" will eventually disappear and that makes it special. We always value things that are not meant to last forever more . With this work I motivate people to think about love. Is it limited? Is it changing over the time? I want this artwork to be a kind of reminder that nothing has an eternal life, even their feelings, even lives of their belongings and their own lives . I want people to pay attention to the fact the most fragile parts of their lives are the most important at the same time .

«EVE», 2020
70 х 100 cm
oshibana on reused paper
The fourth work in the "Flover" set is “Eve ”. Eve is a perfect woman who matches standards of her own. Because she was the only one . What is the role of the woman's body in the game of searching for a potential partner in the format of a planet , stretching for millennia means? The part of the human's body in sexual relationships is overvalued nowadays, that is why many people transform their bodies, trying to be like famous people. As a result, a lot of similar human copies are created. But when potential partners choose between these identical toys, how do they make their choices? The answer is that there are many other factors. If the physical factor is only one out of many , why is it on its pedestal ? Through this artwork, I want people to think about body's value in terms of relationships. I offer viewers to realize that they represent a unique combination of various features and the body is just one of them as this piece is one of many pieces of the "Flo ver" set, while the beauty is in its exclusivity, its belonging to that combination exactly, which altogether makes people sexually attractive

It is shown open to even stronger emphasize the readiness. In real life, the size of the head and hand of a person is approximately equal, so the sizes of those two artworks are equal, too. The depicted hand repeats the size and shape of the author's hand to make the work connected to the real world

The material, petals from flowers gifted with love, dictated the topic of the series. “Flover" is a series of works about love, where it comes from, and how it manifests itself.
