My name is Daria.
I am an architect-designer and contemporary artist.
Working with space,
I gradually came to painting
as its continuation.
My paintings do not emerge
separately from the interior,
but as another form of working
with the same principles —
material, surface,
balance and tension,
nuances and states of the image.
It is important to me
not to fully control the material
and not to let it go entirely.
I explore the moment
when control weakens
and the material begins to respond —
not as an effect,
but as an active participant in the process.
These works are the result of observation,
not an attempt to prove anything.
It is about balance —
never stable,
and each time revealing itself differently.
