Mermaid (Cloe) Painting

Greetings! My name is Polina and I am a full-time artist. I was born in Moscow, but now live and work in Tbilisi. My art is focusing in oil painting and digital art. My art investigates the attitude of man to the world through the objects which he surrounds himself. What the objects were in human world and what they’ve become. I convey my observations by the imaging people and household items, but a special place on my paintings is occupied by the images of animals and birds. Today, when the man surrounds himself with different things more and more, which seem to him reflective his own individuality, the very essence of the things becomes superficial. What place in the world of this things do animals occupy? Another man? The animals living next to man are the part of his «objectively» world, but does it mean that he treats them like a thing? Another people like a thing? In my artworks I wonder about the appropriateness reasonableness of «objectivity» and visual consumption. I paint in oils and choose saturated colors and apply tap the technique of collage into my oil painting and digital art. By the realistic figurative images inclosing in simple geometric figures, I make my artworks similar to vividly colorfully advertisement. In my art I don’t try to image the essence of the object, surrounding me. I just discussing about the place it does occupy in my world.
