Artwork in the room
Aistija Sokolova is an artist deeply committed to her craft, valuing both the scientific foundations and the emotional dimensions of creation. Her approach to art is profoundly shaped by a respect for the enduring laws of physics, which serve as a distinct basis for her work. This scientific inquisitiveness fuses naturally with her desire to communicate both personal and collective narratives through her art.
When painting, Aistija delves into the interaction between colors and tones, fully absorbing herself in their interplay to forge a stronger connection with her own identity. This approach is at once experimental and inward-looking, enabling her to unveil new aspects of herself with each completed painting. Each work thus becomes a reflection, revealing personal insights as well as visual beauty.
Themes of universal and essential importance are at the heart of her artistic practice. Aistija’s paintings often explore topics such as faith, hope, cultural identity, human rights, and mental well-being. By addressing these subjects, she prompts viewers to contemplate them and discover their own interpretations, thus fostering a space for shared dialogue and understanding.
In her exploration of the human form, Aistija employs the law of energy conservation both as a metaphor and as a framework for her compositions. She adeptly merges her use of color and expressive techniques to create a unified visual experience, offering an integrated world where physical principles are woven together with human narratives.
About this artwork+
The painting presents a dynamic landscape rendered in an expressive, abstract style. It's divided into two distinct segments, top and bottom, suggesting different interpretations or times of day within the same scene. The top part features cooler colors—grays, whites, and dark blues—creating a stormy, moody atmosphere. The brushstrokes are broad and sweeping, contributing to a sense of turbulent weather, possibly a rainstorm at dusk. The bottom segment contrasts dramatically with vibrant greens and hints of red and blue, evoking a lush, verdant landscape, perhaps after rain, with reflections in what could be patches of water or wet surfaces. The strokes here are softer, more blended, generating a calm, serene feeling in contrast to the turmoil above. In both parts, abstract elements could be interpreted as trees, water, fields, or reflections, inviting the viewer to consider the cyclical nature of landscapes affected by changing weather or times. The expressive technique and color palette effectively convey an emotional response to the natural environment.
