The project "Life in Avatar" encapsulates my mission, which centers on embracing positivity in any situation. This may manifest as a thought, a dream, or a memory. Even when circumstances seem dire, my resolute spirit keeps me grounded, allowing me not to flee from challenges but rather to find the strength to persist in doing what I can. The visage of Mona Lisa is an essential component in every composition.

No other countenance would suffice, for several reasons:
Firstly, it embodies the archetype of the feminine face.
Secondly, it belongs to everyone, that is, to each individual.
Thirdly, it hails from an entirely different epoch, essential for oscillation, as greater oscillation yields a heightened effect.
Fourthly, it serves as my avatar, as the series explores the narratives of my life, and within this context, contemporary faces of other women seem entirely out of place.

For me, stability remains elusive. Everything is in a constant state of flux. There is nothing permanent. Circumstances change, moods shift, and I find myself in an unending process of self-evolution and my relationship with the world - this is the new norm.

In the series "Life in Avatar," I leverage the juxtaposition of emotional and aesthetic qualities from two distinct epochs, going beyond the norm and offering a wellspring of constructive experience for the collective.

Each painting in the series is a story, akin to episodes in a television series where I am both the viewer and the creator, the cinematographer, and the protagonist.

Now I understand that the state I find myself in today holds great significance for my future destiny. Therefore, I summon the inner strength to resist succumbing to negativity and to prevent pain from taking the upper hand...

I hope this captures the essence of your artistic statement in a manner befitting an art critic. If you have any further questions or specific points you'd like me to focus on, please feel free to let me know.

This is a collection in which the main plot becomes the image of the city, its streets and buildings.
City landscape is a genre of paintings with the help of which I convey the emotions and mood of the city I have seen, or of some of my favorite, or something that agitated a place in the city at a certain time of year, or time of day.
