Svyat Nes
– Symbolist artist.
"Every one of my works responds to a single statement: ‘this is how I feel right now.’
In difficult times, I go through a certain spectrum of emotions. Yet I never allow them to consume me. Instead, I observe my own experiences from a distance, separating myself from them. My paintings remain close – they are the visual embodiment of my emotional journey. They do not define who I am, but rather serve as tangible reminders of what I have lived through, helping me to sustain a physical connection with those experiences."
Participant of international exhibitions exploring the emotional dimension of art, as well as solo projects.

Series: THIS IS HOW I’M FEELING N O W
“martyr” & “immaculate”
(“мученик” и “непорочная”)
“martyr” & “immaculate”
(“мученик” и “непорочная”)
With this series, the author wanted to draw attention to socially vulnerable groups who have endured, or are at risk of, various forms of violence.
The painting “immaculate” once bore the title “death by sex” and was created to highlight the issues faced by HIV+ people. However, following criticism of the name, it was changed. The meaning embedded in the work remained the same. Together with the other painting in the series “martyr”, they embody both mental and physical struggles that cannot be resolved by separation of the two.
