Pyrchala Daria, On the Border, 2020

oil on canvas, 110 x 100 cm

For her, a place represents an area where something happens. She is inspired by the interpenetration of objects and their signifiers, and her work is composed of things, feelings and existences she encounters. She does not set specific boundaries, and if they appear, they are blurred and leaky. The spaces she imagines are often the sum of several separate places - from various fragments she creates a whole, which becomes the canvas of her story, showing relationships and dependencies. It provides a base in which she organizes objects, examining their interaction. She analyzes reality in terms of color, shape, matter and impressions. She interprets both moving and non-moving elements, trying to define dynamism and constancy. Her paintings - often ambiguous, simplified, abstract - are the result of her thoughts. She reduces them to simple forms, while focusing on, out of context objects - each of which, in terms of structure and construction, is a choice. The signs she creates concentrate internal tensions from which further stories emerge. He begins the creative process by connecting points and lines, establishing the general outline of the sign. As he adds more elements, he checks their consonance with each other and their correspondence with the originally seen description. She creates black and white signs on a natural ground, which allows her to analyze their form in depth before color appears - acting as an enhancement or weakening of clarity. In this way, she designs a symbol with basic content that she can develop in an infinite number of ways. By analyzing the tensions within the form, she controls the quality of the sign, and through their juxtaposition, she creates a specific kind of writing with which she tells stories of events and places.
