Elizabeth wants to make the viewer think about what a paradoxical world we live in, and remind us that society deliberately overpays for the status and the mirror in which it is reflected.
A brand is a mirror of the human ego, a reflection of itself, as well as the perception of the society in which it is located. It is in this thought that lies the answer to the question of why a person is so obviously eager to join brands, regardless of his social status.

STEVIA

STEVIA (Arianna Stefanenko) is a young artist for whom art is a place of peace and tranquillity. In her paintings she conveys that state when everything around is interesting and marvellous, but it is not euphoria, but rather a kind of meditative point.

Arianna’s works feature recurring characters. They are hypertrophied brightly coloured childlike images that descend from heaven to earth and become humanoid. They have a knack for igniting what instantly burns out and have a habit of balancing on the limits. With half-closed eyes, they blissfully accept whatever life’s circumstances may bring. Depending on their mood, the intensity of their colour varies.

‘Growing up, which is surprisingly in step with the current era. I feel as if the emerging era is as old as I am. I am guided by an aesthetic perception of the world — and only slightly interested in the pragmatic, it’s the perfect formula for me.'

Аnna Polani

Anna Polani is a multimedia artist whose practice spans several mediums, including oil painting, digital illustration, neurogenerative graphics, video, and creating sculptures for augmented reality.

Her parents wanted Anna to become an engineer, so studying mathematics and physics has always been and remains a part of her as an artist. This experience influences her creative process, and she integrates new technologies and scientific concepts into her work.
The main source of inspiration for her is space. Anna is fascinated by the idea that people originated from stardust and will eventually return to it. This concept permeates her work, as she seeks to combine contemporary life narratives with astrophysics and quantum mechanics. Anna uses photos from social media as a starting point, adding elements related to science and technology, mathematical and physical formulas. This creates a distinctive dynamic in her works.
The process of creating the object is often visible in her works: paint flows, strikethroughs, traces of other mediums, digital distortions, and artifacts. These elements serve as a reminder that imperfection and mistakes are a natural part of life. Every detail in Anna’s work, whether it’s a digital anomaly or a random paint spot, has its own role.
Anna Polani’s art combines elements of conceptualism and metamodernism. She uses bright images of contemporary culture, giving them depth through scientific concepts. This creates a complex set of images and ideas, questioning our role in the universe.

Kristina Kovalchuk

Kristina Kovalchuk is a young artist born in Moscow in 1999.

The artist creates colorful, abstract, surreal paintings, giving preference to details, an abundance of color and illusion in her works.

«With my work I try to answer the question „How can I connect an abstract thing?“ by creating collections of fragments, contrasts, ornaments. Wildly transforming, turning images and deviating from accepted orders, I intend to present the elements of the picture more vividly,» says Christina about her work.
