What can human being say about oneself? Probably it’s easy to create description for catalogues than to be interlocutor who is prepared for combined dialogue, dialogue about art and his vision as from position of professionalizm, and from position of easy sensation of art – its power, its sensuality and its influence on us.
Everyone has own lifeway and own unique way. My vision of art has been grown in joint with nature and simple Ukrainian being. It is not easy to find yourself in century of active changes (but not always necessary). To be born and grow up in one dimension and in some ideals, find yourself (especially in arts in the period of cultural and art slowdown) and present yourself in the period of achievments is not so easy as disputable and not always effecive.
Just human essence and nature remain permanent and unchanged, if they belong to point of life. Studing something makes certain stereotype. Studing in the Art Academy was helping me to formate my position in art as a sculptor, that is able to overcome reiteration and standards in my creative work. Sometimes the search of own place in huge and many-sided fields of art can last the whole life. In such time, human essence, which has been grown on base of connection with nature, and interpretation of this nature from experience position will keep and renew everything that is needed to be told, shown and informed.
Striving in own perception and observation to achieve the result (which will give evidence of difficult search of creative vision of surrounding world by the way of self-consciousness) have to follow the difficult creative process.
Search of yourself is difficult way, especially when this search is followed by relaxation. In many cases it just strains this or other reflection in own “Me”. The solution of supplied tasks, which can not be always accomplished, dynamic of inner creative ways, where new decisions are changed by new contradictions, which overfull art from the moment of its beginning. The sculptor becomes the hostage of these contradictions. Just one thing that brings feelings of life is opportunity to resolve these questions i individually, and live in accordance with these decisions.
Reflection of Jungs’ vision of human being and vision of architypical combinations in art is widerspread in up-to-date interpretations of art’s products. At the same time, attempts to find analytical mechanisms, which are revealed in S. Freuds’ works in art analysis as phenomenon, give evidence to appearance of sublimation, that presents sculptor creation through prism of his personal potential. The main idea is not to concentrate in search of symbolic architypical images, but to direct creative work which will resolve endless conflict of human soul with itself and everything that surrounds it.
The most difficult is to create a sculpture and rush to see in it inner contradictions, which expect own decision, and appear as moving powers for beginning of new creative activity. The main heroes of this activity are inner essence of sculptor, his creative work and Someone who watches it.
To find and be recognize yourself is the main task that should be decided by each person. Art and sculpture are the opportunities to recognize yourself and the world in yourself. This is individually inside everyone, although it is not always unique. It is very important not to change creative work to creativity, because creativity is rather showing of “piar” than ability to be a professional and express yourself.
