Shame, 2017
oil on linen canvas. I definitely felt it in my childhood. I remember when I blushed for the first time… These are the moments when something touches my sensitive soul, some very intimate place. For me, Shame and Nakedness is the same. They are connected. Nakedness causes Shame. It is Fragility. Someone once said: if an artist blushes, this is a compliment to his sensitivity. Shame is also a defeat. If you are ashamed, you are not able to defend yourself, it is like a paralysis, it is a failure, a feeling of failure. Shame is a state of a person, but people are very different – in the way they were raised, in their life experience, according to age and social status… but we also need to remember that there are different cultures, and in the context of the culture society also changes with time, the eras and morality are changing. This work has participated in personal exhibition “Self portrait” in 2021 in Riga Latvia.
