Personality inscribed in the geometry of modern space. At first glance it may seem that that space is external, but in fact – it is all inside. The walls in the paintings are in a leading role – they squeeze, guide the character and determine his condition and movement or lack of movement.

The series explores the human response to restraint. It is here not only for the characters, but also for the audience: the series has a direction, starting from the front canvases, it gradually changes the angle from work to work, this clear regulation and dominant forms depress the viewer’s interpretation freedom. Limitations also stand for the author — consciously and fundamentally the artist pushes herself into the frames of not only one medium, but also one colour. That is to be on par with the character and the viewer.

Frame. Cage. Crucial. Human is inscribed in the geometry of the space. At first glance, it seems to be external, but in fact it is internal. Walls play a key role here: they squeeze and guide the character, determine his or her status as movement or lack of movement.

A hero falls into pieces. He gradually wanes in the dispersion. Starting with the classic naive figurative, the story goes into the destruction of man as value, preserving only shadows and contrasts.

After all, there is only the viewer peering out of the window.
