Oil on canvas
In my Master’s creative work, the concept includes motifs drawn from contemporary life—immediate, everyday domesticity. The works are connected to the reality we still inhabit. With the accelerating pace of progress, perhaps that reality will no longer exist tomorrow. Fire transformed into a campfire framed by stones, then into a flame enclosed in iron construction, and relatively recently—it became gas-powered. Today, it has turned into a convection surface that radiates “cold,” gleams with cleanliness, and requires payment each time it is used. Behind all the seemingly harmless, familiar comforts lies a relentless struggle for resources. A warm meal at home today is shifting from its original symbolic meaning. Against the backdrop of recent global events, its image tilts toward themes of resource supply, convenience, or even privilege. This motif is encoded and works effectively—as long as we learn history, remember paganism, feel the impact of lighting a flame, and have, at least once, dealt with a modern induction stove. But this is not a given—perhaps we were simply lucky to experience it. And soon, it may all disappear, because the progressive world does not stand still: artificial intelligence will decode visual motifs for us—but the issue is, it will likely be e x e c u t e d according to a s t a n d a r d.
