Beautiful Women Series
Six parts serie dedicated to women who do not or did not consider themselves as beautiful, but they truly are. Beautiful Women Series is a complex art installation featuring various art works centered around this theme. All six parts are conected together by material, colors, details, attitudes, thoughts…
The first part of the installation consists of rough portraits of sixteen different women selected based on their attitudes toward themselves in a covered & uncovered state of the portrait. Some of them have found their beauty in the details of their lives, in the features of their bodies and faces, and have finally valued themselves in terms of love.The veil is essential to the installation. It covers and uncovers not just woman’s face, but also the mindset of both her and the viewer standing in front of her.
The second part is formed by a large format portrait ink paintings on the mesh with embroidered details.The knitted wool lines highlight subtle details that can be easily overlooked. These subtle details are key to beauty in the context of love. The movement of the installation reflects changes over time and evokes shifting perceptions-both of the woman herself and of the viewer standing in front.
The third part, We are beautiful, 2024 is 150×150 cm acrylic painting merging all sixteen women into the one. By tracing the significant color coresponding with the small rough portraits the viewer can recognize the distinct woman as well as a new face created by all intersections representing embroidery. The lines intersect and merge into one another, revealing parts of the face that are more or less prominent, yet together forming the entire visage
The fourth part is presented by four objects with hidden questions and answers of the women while seeing the reflection of themself or the observer in the mirror while passing by. The hidden questions and answers are possible to see only when the viewer is directly tilted above the object. At that point, herself or himself is the part of the installation. Punctation marks communicate the meaning and can be easily switched as the opposite (depends on the point of view): !? :— explanation by not completing “yes”/“no” ()… explanation by moment of silence
The fifth part is a statue holding a poem titled The Mirror, embroidered with colorful wools representing a connection to all women, as well as the women who are the subjects of this series. The wools climb up the statue, intertwining with single words until they reach the hands, where some continue wrapping around the forearms. This part amplifies the effect of a strong hold of the life itself. The wools create an impression of coloring the entire scene. The statue itself has a non specific but the mirror face which drag in all approaching persons.
The sixth part is represented by the video titled I see containing three stories . One is the beauty ritual of the putting on and removing makeup while intersected with non verbal communication of the older woman of the acceptance of the the beauty as it is. There is no judgement of using makeup or any beauty procedure if the woman is sattisfied by herself. On the background the third story comes in as the dialog between the author and the woman about the meaning of the Beautiful Women Series and her attidute to it.
