YELLOW CORNER
During this project I felt like a person in a state of chronic anxiety. I worry about everything: work, health of my own and my relatives, the political situation in my country and in neighboring countries. I pass everything through myself, I take everything to heart. And also I am an artist who tries to reflect his feelings and experiences in art, tries to find a way out for the negative and create a space where you can not think about anything, abstract.
I love yellow, I believe in its therapeutic properties, it gives people a feeling of warmth and joy. In my art, I use yellow for this very purpose. In today's world, people sorely lack a sense of security. We all need a pause, a stop. I would like to return to childhood, where there are no worries, responsibilities and problems. With my installation, I invite viewers to feel like children, play, make mistakes, but become creators of a unique abstraction. Feel like something more than just a spectator.

The Yellow Corner project is about working with shape, color and combinatorics. In the process of creating sculptures, the processuality was important to me, the way I interact with the material, the performativity of my movements. And also the interaction of color and shape. The variability and endless development of my work.
This project is personal. Each shape is unique, they all come together in a one composition. The figures are suspended in the space of the corner by yellow ropes. The idea is that during the exhibition, the composition of the installation is constantly changing and documented. By exhibiting my installation in a gallery, I invite visitors to interact with my work, I let them enter my personal space. I give the opportunity to create variations of the installation with me.
This work is a process, an experiment that can go on indefinitely, so it was important for me to see what combinations people created. I want a person to turn off his head and be a child, play, create his own drawing using the system that I prepared for him.
Yellow corner project is about borders that separate people from each other, but also about connections. It is about the idea that people are on its own, but they meet one another and they are tied up by their paths, lines of life.
