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 features a vivid landscape dominated by a stark contrast between a luminous yellow-green sky and deep blue terrain. The sky, almost glowing, drips downwards, its paint layers thick and texturally rich, suggesting a dynamic, perhaps tumultuous atmosphere. Below, the terrain unfolds in waves of blue, varying in intensity and hue from dark navy to brighter cobalt. This part of the painting is more controlled, with rhythmic, horizontal brushstrokes that create a sense of rolling hills or waves. Within these waves, silhouettes of trees or bush-like forms in a lighter blue, almost ghostly in appearance, add depth and a hint of mystery to the scene. The overall effect is both dramatic and serene, suggesting a landscape that is not bound by the ordinary constraints of nature.
