Exploring the Psyche: The Art of Eugenia Shchukina

August 01, 2023 by Arseny Vesnin in 2023, Art, NFT Art, Portfolios, Russia

Every creator has a distinct voice and unique tale in the vast universe of art. Eugenia Shchukina, an artist, has been making waves in the contemporary art scene and garnering attention. An artist of exceptional calibre, Schukina's work navigates the intricate labyrinth of the human psyche, striking a balance between realism and pop-surrealism.

Eugenia uses classique techniques to create her captivating art, preferring dry pastels on paper. Her works often find their way into private collections around the world.

At the heart of Schukina's artistry lies an exploration of the human psyche's volatility. She explores the potential of reducing fears and illusions by analysing symbols and interpreting various aspects of personality using contemporary artistic perspectives.

Eugenia’s artwork often features the moth, a representation of our elusive fears and intricate emotions. Her pieces suggest that these aspects, much like the delicate and unpredictable moth, persistently exist within us.

Jose Lopez Vergara Art

May 23, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Art, Portfolios, Spain
@joselopezvergara_

Jose Lopez Vergara was born in Mexico City in 1994 and raised in Madrid, Spain. In 2003 he had an accident that permanently impaired the movement of his right arm. During a long recovery period he was encouraged to cultivate his interest in drawing and develop his innate artistic abilities. Jose spent his teenage years painting murals with spray paint and creating hyper realistic drawings with coloured pencils. Having explored different creative paths, finally his interests led him to oil painting. He then went on to study classical drawing and painting from 2016 to 2021 in Florence and New York following a tradition that goes back to the Renaissance.

Vergara’s work centres on the search for an idealised representation of everyday life, current events and universal emotion. He’s influenced by art of many cultures of the past and present. Although his realist technique requires a strict methodology and rational thinking, his compositions rely on subconscious impulses and demand an abstract expression. His interest in the silhouette and minimal design plays a central role in his work and continues to open many paths for exploration.

The Truth About Reality by David Christiaan

May 02, 2022 by Arseny Vesnin in 2022, Art, Netherlands, Portfolios
@davidchristiaanart

The Idea for this artwork came to me in two stages. Whilst I was laying in bath, I saw in my mind three overlapping mirrors. This image ignited my curiosity but that alone didn’t feel complete. I don’t remember exactly how the second part of the idea came to me but I was laying in bath again. This time the thought of arrows with black and white feathers shot in overlapping gold frames with silver surfaces came to my mind. This idea was very exiting for me because I could see the symbolic, mythological and metaphorical references in it. When I was making the actual artwork and thinking about it I was feeling very inspired. “This work needs to exist”. For me, the whole process of receiving the idea, making it (in secret) and then finally exposing friends and family to it for the first time, was a very satisfying experience. 

“I’ve noticed that when most people first encounter this artwork they need some time to process what they are looking at. Although the individual objects and materials are recognisable you don’t immediately realise what you are seeing or where in the work to focus your attention. The relative visual complexity of this piece is a metaphor for the complexity of reality and truth. Hence the title of the subject. Since everyone has an individual experience when they view the work, the subject matter, which is clearly about perception, and the experience of the viewer actually become one. In this way the viewers experience becomes part of the artwork itself. I have found that without actually informing people about what I think this artwork means, it inspires thought and conversation regarding what our experience of reality actually is.”
