About The Artwork

I have a close connection with Rosa. And this work, of course, contains many personal messages. I moved to Berlin and my move coincided with the fact that I was translating and typesetting Kate Evans‘ „Red Rose“ for the Moscow’s department of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. It was, as they say, complete immersion: Berlin, revolution, Rosa Luxemburg. Thanks to Kate, I learned a lot about Rosa’s personality, and her friendships and letters revealed her very deeply. I was just starting to work with the theme of “body” and ripping off Rosa’s clothes was quite logical in the context of my work. To show the fragility of a person-symbol, a person-legend, fragility and courage at the same time, not to let it turn into a cold ideal, to leave something human. And the inscription “tut mir leid” is a regret, but not about torn clothes. A hundred years have passed since the death of Red Rose, but injustice still exists, wars continue, and somehow we have not achieved freedom for those who think differently. So, I’m sorry Rosa, we haven’t done well yet, but we’ll continue.

I studied fine arts, art philosophy and performance in Moscow and have been living in Berlin since 2017. I understand myself as a feminist multidisciplinary artist and work on taboo and social topics as well as the whole range of our personal experiences and how they relate to the individual topics through various media (painting / installation and performance / video and drawing / graphic novel). My work deals with topics such as memory, violence, trauma, our relationship to our bodies, and the personal as political. I’m primarily concerned with how the private and public can influence, transform, construct, represent and deconstruct reality. I work with social issues and the full spectrum of our personal experiences and how they connect to the individual themes of my projects. The idea of art’s ​​social responsibility is significant to me. The sincerity of my research and the engagement of the viewer is essential. Therefore, my projects are often participatory. My painting / drawing work flows into graphic novels and in space installations. Art should evoke emotions. They make you think. The artist who tries to convey their feelings with their art understands how others will react to their statement, gesture, action. Will the viewer smile or squeeze their fists and become angry? It is very important.
