BIRD WITHOUT NEST, by artist Daria Zaseda, is an original painting available at Adelman Fine Art Gallery in San Diego, California.

“This little series is about my reaction to the war. Now, like many Ukrainians, all my emotions are suppressed because of the shock, because of the constant reading of terrible news, because my friends and relatives are dying, because the Russians are killing children. Outwardly, I look very calm, but inside I have a black hole, an emptiness. But sooner or later these emotions must break through, so I came up with metaphorical characters – a bird and a fish with human eyes. They will speak on the canvas instead of me.” ~Daria Zaseda

Artwork Story

"We all at least once met the word 'refugee' in the media and saw on the screens frightened people with children and personal belongings that were getting out of hot spots. We all understand that this is terrible. As it turned out, no one knows or understands anything until he becomes a refugee himself. It is impossible to convey the horror of parting with your home, it is impossible to talk about the feeling that no one needs you in the whole world, that all doors are closed to you and you are a stranger everywhere. The refugee wounded me much worse and deeper than the explosions on the neighboring street, I still do not know where I will return. I don't know if 300+ of my paintings, sculptures and drawings will survive in the studio in Kyiv. I don't know if I'll ever have a home. My bird in the painting looks to where its nest was and where it has no return." ~Daria Zaseda

ARTIST STATEMENT:

I always wanted to paint. But I wanted to do it in a modern way: I thought over my dream lazily, passively and even timidly. Why timidly? Because the following thoughts always flashed: “how can you paint! People spend all their lives to learn to do it…”, “no one starts at 36”, “you won’t like it”, “ you won’t manage it”, etc. So I kept on dreaming until one day of March 19, 2015, when I came to an art supply store and asked “Give me everything I need for oil painting”. Since then, my life has changed once and for all. I am a self-taught artist and I started very late, so I realized that I needed to study and work several times harder than those who gained an art education. Today all my life without the rest is painting.

Topics

Being an artist, I constantly move from one interesting object to another, learning and trying to convey the learned ones. I tried to express different directions and subjects of contemporary and fine art on canvas, but two issues always remain interesting for me, changing only the form – the possibilities of colors and …women. Color in my works – God and Lord, only with it, without additional forms, I can say about happiness and pain, depression or delight. I am convinced that today the art is excessively attached to the words, exhaustively explaining the viewer the essence of works and leaving the viewer no room for inner spiritual work, which he or she invariably does when trying to make their own judgment towards the picture. That is why I often prefer to talk simply with color, not prompting the viewer “the right” answers on questions “what is this work about?”. The search for color combinations, my own color mixtures, new meanings of old color palettes – these are my tasks for the coming years of work and my main ambition as an artist.

Women are the ones I never get tired of “talking” about in my paintings. The theme of the woman and her self-awareness in the psychological and social context is my “onion”, where I carefully peel layer by layer, wanting to reach the very core. A beautiful woman, a sad woman, a suffering woman, a woman in search, a witch woman, a mother woman…thousands of ways to say the word woman, thousands of ways to fill this word with meanings on canvas. I am convinced that nothing in the modern world requires more attention than the search for woman’s self-identification, the revelation of woman’s potential and the art can make a serious contribution to this study.

Media

I have works that are made with acrylic, enamel pint, coal, ink, watercolor and other materials, but oil is a kind of paint which expressiveness cannot overshadow any other material for me. Oil is similar to my favorite element – water: it can be soft and hard, gentle and sharp, bright spot and subtle hint of color.

Technique

I prefer an expressionist approach in my works: emotional, honest, sharp, so the palette knife is the best tool for my self-expression. Of course, I have works done with brushes or even fingers, but my signature artistic handwriting is presented by large strokes and color transitions created with my palette knife.
