Daria Kropacheva

Born in 1989, in the city of Bender, Moldova. I graduated from the Bender Art College 2008. After, I moved to the capital of Moldova and graduated from the Academy of Art for easel painting in 2012. I enrolled in the magistracy and graduated in 2015 with honors.

Academic activity gives me the push to think about contemporary art and about What and How I would like to convey to a modern audience. I begin to try myself in different directions and in different techniques. I came to the conclusion that I like realism and symbolism.

2016 was my first-time visiting Europe and Rome. This journey made a great impression. Antique, Renaissance and Baroque, sculptures and paintings of old masters inspire.

I work in realism, symbolism. I’m fascinated by working with nudity. I continued to study the anatomy in motion, the dynamics and plasticity of the body. The nude figure in my paintings is an intimate conversation with the viewer, as if a tête-à-tête, without masks, without clothes. This is an attempt to convey an exposed inner state of a person, or an emotion. If I want to talk about a social topic, I dress my model.

The themes for my paintings are most often human emotions and actions that I personify. Or I personify inanimate objects. For example, it may be a thirst for life or the earth’s crust in the form of girls. I symbolize objects by my associations. For example, pearls as a symbol of time. Dragonfly as an idea. I take topics that concern me and I offer the audience to look at this topic, from a different perspective. Every painting of mine is an ellipsis. I suggest that the spectators put their own final period in the theme evoked by the painting.
