"You are too good for me" explores dating and romance in the modern world. Murashkina examines how online apps have fast-tracked dating, sex and even marriage. The process of flirting has been reduced to clicking a few buttons and finding out the personalities and mystery of a person all in one profile. And how many people quickly give themselves away in hopes of a relationship?

Murashkina’s vase illustrates this topic in a playful and comical manner. Bizarre, half-naked characters stand in line waiting to meet the beautiful nymph, who is chastely covering herself with leaves. The company of men includes Bluebeard, a man with a rabbit’s head and another who hides his aggression behind a mask. They remark that she is ‘too good' for them, as they wait for the chance to lie with her. She wonders how she can choose someone from such a group of men and instead imagines Phyllis and Aristotle, who are depicted on the lid. Phyllis had once seduced Aristotle and made him carry her on his back like a horse. The nymph wishes for such a relationship, where the man would be incredibly intelligent but easily succumb to her charms, as Aristotle had done.

1985 Donetsk, Ukraine

"The main topic of my research in art is the psychology of sexuality, personal drama, raised in cult.

I‘m brave, bold and fearless, I‘m erotic and see the world in an erotic context.

I like to talk about what you prefer to save in silent way.

That’s about you dreamt of something, but did not expect to be aware. About the delicious details from the Subconscious and the extreme limits allowed in the social relations.

As for the style, it is a synthetic style of purely feminine perception of the World with a deep ground of classical art education, it is a parallel to the Ukrainian naive art and Kitsch, filled with citations from works of masterpieces of art history.

I create big format bright colors paintings, installations includes ready-made objects, knitted items, embroidery, and the drawings related with my own erotic stories and performances. Turning to the themes of Eroticism and Body, the experience of dreams, I immerse them in the theatrical environment. The artworks may appear upon first glance playful and whimsical, but it ultimately encourage viewers to take a serious look at the complexity of ideas on display.My plots are macabre and quite grotesque, with full of irony and a chance to laugh or to cry. To love or to die.

But for sure, to believe in this Magic by author’s erotic world". Nina Murashkina
