As a child, I imagined a strange pulling pain from the fact that the structure of fish scales is woven into the structure of human skin. It was an pleinair camp at the time, and we spent most of the day painting in a nearby abandoned camp. When it was getting dark, I would walk past the street washbasins and imagine the pain. In the atmosphere of the old, forgotten camp, it was doubly mysterious.
from the series "Underwater music".
This is a song about something strange that is considered familiar in the context of the artwork. It excites me to see how the human body merges with something animal. Whether it’s fish scales or feathers. It’s frightening and mesmerizing, like an attractive abomination. Just imagine looking at your feet and seeing scales! In the picture, the mermaid is in our focus, and the gaze shifts from the female body to the tail, isn’t it amazing how much it can cheer up? Like when you are startled by the silhouette of a person in the dark, and it turns out that you are peering into a floor lamp. This is something vast and original.
The series "Underwater Music" began with the fact that I love mermaids since childhood. I like the idea of combining human and a fish. A familiar body and repulsive scales. When I was a kid, I used to go to a summer camp where the kids would tell each other scary stories before going to bed, and one of them stuck in my head for a long time. It was a story about a girl with friends who summoned the spirit of a mermaid with a ouija board. Before going to bed, she went to wash her feet of sand, and was horrified to find that where the water got, there were scales.
