"Let your dreams be bigger than your fears. And may your actions speak louder than words.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Quiet" is part of my "Island of Contemplation" project, which I have been working on for several years. The project includes primed textile works that have participated in numerous exhibitions.
I consider my works to be the fruit of the soul's desire to take a breath, they are my joy and freedom. Every stitch, every stroke is gratitude that I have eyes, that I have hands, that I have life and love. I strive for my creations to bear the marks of simplicity, but also of nobility. I want to convey feelings of flight, lightness, freedom, silence, immersion, tranquility, peace...
For me, contemplation is a process that brings hypersensitivity. It is not an escape from reality, but an attempt to create at least a tentative balance between the perception of the world and the world itself, between knowledge of life and life itself.

Sculpture from primed textile, author's technique.
50/69/23cm

Pliers, a needle and a brush were enough for me :)

For the creation of the sculpture, with care for nature, I used recycled materials - steel wire, fabric, through which I achieved the shape I wanted. The work is primed and tinted with paints, leftovers from production.
