Marta Shmatova

1965

The artist, a member of the Open Art Space project, works in the technique of oil painting.

The visual language of Marta Shmatova contains elements of symbolism, new realism and surrealism. The main figure of the works is a generalized image of a person (most often a woman), and the theme is his philosophical reflections and feelings. The artist places her characters in a conventionally symbolic space, reminiscent of theatrical scenery.

The artist about her work:

“Since childhood, I have been surrounded by an atmosphere of art. I started my creative path in the first years of perestroika, when decades of “socialist realism” were changed to the search for a creative individuality, my own style in Belarus.

In my works, Man is always the central figure. The worldview of a person colors this world emotionally, fills it with various meanings and meanings. Man and civilization, man and nature, man and time - meditations on these questions give me ideas for many paintings.
