Daria Dmytrenko: Intrico | Vetrina#16

Working between painting and sculpture, Dmytrenko explores the visual expression of the subconscious, using intuitive impulses as a tool to bring forth deep memories and fears and transform them into visual compositions. She is fascinated by the obscurity of the human mind: she explores memories, fears, and nightmares, which appear in her artworks in the forms of monsters and anthropomorphic beasts that, in a way, all represent herself.

For Vetrina#16, the artist presents “Intrico”, a site-specific installation where she will compare the subconscious to a dense forest. The thickness of the trees represents the complexity and depth of the human mind, while the creatures glancing from the bushes are incarnations of the emotional states, memories, and nightmares. They inhabit this space silently and steadily, existing in a kind of parallel time and dimension, not wishing to be discovered. The viewer can only peek carefully, without invading that balanced and untouched world.
