Wabi-Vases
A minimalist collection of handmade vases defined by simplicity, harmony and balance between textures, shapes and color. The vases are handmade and have no repeats. Each vase in this series is unique and numbered.
My vases are based on a used glass bottle, which refers to the issues of reuse, humanity's relationship with nature, and the role of human in the ecosystem.
It proves that it is not only possible to give second life to ordinary things, but through the idea and work of an artisan you can turn them into a work of art.
The vases are made of clay and plaster without the aid of a potter's wheel, inspired by the aesthetics of the wabi-sabi concept. According to this concept, greatness lives in small details and beauty can be part of imperfection.
Wabi-sabi reminds us of the illusory nature of permanence and perfection, the ephemerality of problems and worries.
Nothing is eternal, perfect, or finished.
1991 Alanya, Turkey
Lesia Danilina is a young talented artist who lives in Turkey.
Artist statement: "Globally, the theme of my art is Healing and Mental Health. I talk about the state of mind of modern man in an era of global change and traumatic events. In my art, I propose to explore the causes of discomfort (Essentialism series) and to see ways to peace (Moments and Beige feelings). In doing so, I want to deepen Herman Rorschach's research on the interpretation of stains and personality characteristics of emotional states in the key of specifically healing from negative experiences.
To reflect this theme, I use acrylic and soak-stain, and mostly uncoated canvas. Initially, I only have stain and color in my arsenal. And then I can only use the art of composition, knowledge of color psychology, and physics of materials (using different mediums for acrylics, water pours, texture pastes, and ground coffee).
I create my abstractions meticulously thinking through each stain and color. To structure the work in abstract art is to conduct chaos. But at the same time, I am constantly in dialogue with my material, allowing it to guide me, thereby holding the balance. With a subtle intuitive understanding of how this works and influences the viewer, it can make a wonderful statement. It is resonant, succinct, and profound.
I believe that healing work can take place through abstract works because it is when observing abstract paintings that the subconscious mind actively begins to work. I guide the viewer through experiences that have become healing for me and give support on the difficult path to inner harmony."
