Shalneva (Serova) Sofia — illustrator.
Art school № 1 in Barnaul IB Visual Arts («Letovo» school) HSE University «Design» — bachelor’s degree programFor many years, I have been creating works of art that combine various worlds.Art about the future
Many people do not think about the future, or about the potential changes that await them in an ever-changing world.
Art gives rise to debate, and debate prompts us to reflect on pressing issues, consider the perspectives of others, and formulate our own opinions.
In my work, I strive to present potential visions of the future world. To achieve this, I employ not only ideas but also specific techniques and materials. In this way, a painting blends various artistic principles and, in itself, merges the future with the present.
Artistic techniques
Usage
Blending techniques and styles in my creative work allows me to recreate paintings within paintings, highlight specific elements, and reveal the differences between our current reality and the future.Results
I strive to create paintings that embed the future into the present through realistic fragments of imagery combined with more graphic, minimalist elements.Materials
Usage
I plan to expand the range of materials I use. At the same time, I continue to experiment with various textures to achieve effects of layering and the integration of «foreign» elements.Results
While commercial printing creates a solid, dense fill with a glossy effect, watercolor reveals life: it flows, blends, and seems to be alive.And how do you envision the world of the future?
We welcome even the boldest and most eccentric ideas.
Content
Usage
In my work, I create a cyber-future, reflecting the use of technology and hyperbolizing potential ideas about how the world might change.The work was sold on the Art Russia for 10,000 rubles.
Results
Such detailed works most closely reflect a world that might come to pass—or might not.The end
Every variation of the future finds its reflection in the present. A blend of techniques, materials, and content helps bring forth our boldest visions—visions that are otherwise confined within the narrow boundaries of what is considered «normal» or «viable.» In art, you can leave these constraints behind, immerse yourself in dreams, and perhaps even bring them to life in reality.
Begin creating your future with a thought.
You can reach out to me to explore how this idea might be reflected in a work of art.
