"Embracing the Dusk Slumber" Painting

In today's reality, where attention is scattered and man defines himself through objects, the artist Julia Shanaytsa finds in this fragmentation and change a source of inspiration. The human desire to describe oneself through objects, these tiny particles of consumer society, becomes a key point in her art. In her work, the artist explores attributions and objects as symbols of contemporary existence. In analogy to Renaissance portraits, where each object has its own meaning, today's objects become attributes that characterise us in this ever-changing reality. The complexity of the contemporary system, where objects are impermanent and subject to obsolescence, creates a sense of confusion in the individual. However, it is in this shift and change that the artist finds beauty. The ability to capture moments in this fluid flow becomes the source of its creativity.Her works do not strive for totality, but rather capture the flashes, the vibrations of this total shuddering of being. She immerses herself in the momentary, in objects that will soon change their position in reality. Through her gaze through the lens on the objects and the impact of the Other, she then creates works on canvas that invite pause, to ponder this complex network of mutual gazes, offering the viewer a space for reflection outside the hustle and bustle and flow of life. Julia Shanaytsa's art is an attempt to capture these moments and convey a sense of fragmentation, yet discover something unique and tantalising in this chaos.
