Plush-satin Jewelry Box

The artist dedicates her work to everyday scenes, small pleasures, memories and objects (mirrors, jewelry boxes, perfume bottles, porcelain figurines, photographs), viewing them as an introduction to the metaphysical world in which feeling is important, not time and transience. When she focuses on everyday objects, she chooses those intended for women, emphasizing their multi-layered nature - the fact that they carry aesthetics, nostalgia, but also emancipation, self-awareness and enjoyment. The painting Plush-satin jewelry box belongs to the ''Rouge Noir'' series dedicated to women's make-up packaging. It depicts women's desire for beautification as an action that brings them to a state of satisfaction and boosts self-confidence. The small box in the painting is oversized with the intention to boldly seduce, conquer and subdue the observer, in the name of the woman, with his velvety grace and (red) color of love.
