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 depicts a dense forest captured in a range of muted colors that convey a mysterious, perhaps somber atmosphere. Vertical strokes of black and deep greens suggest tall, slender trees stretching upward, while the background is washed in lighter greens, blues, and golds, hinting at a diffused light filtering through the canopy above. The forest floor is not distinctly visible, adding to the overall sense of depth and density. The layers of colors and the variation in brushstrokes create a textured effect, as if the viewer is looking through a mist or a screen of rainfall. The scene is enveloped in a tranquil yet slightly eerie ambiance, typical of a deep, untouched forest. The technique used gives the painting a dreamlike quality, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.
