White Noise paintings are about motherhood experience in difficult pandemic times. About pushing the boundaries, dealing with the global coronavirus situation during a high risk pregnancy and succeeding it. It is a story about new beginnings, new experiences and eventually new sounds like white noise associated with a new born baby. White noise makes a baby feel peaceful, relaxed and easy to fall asleep. These are exactly the kind of emotions that I want to provoke through my art. I would like my art to be a white noise to the viewer, an art that soothes and calms. I want to project the most sincere and honest feeling of overwhelming joy and reaching a perfect state of inner balance and zen tranquility.
I want my paintings to be a post coronavirus statement. I concentrate on the aftermath of the negative experiences and focusing on the positive lessons only. I want my White Noise art to be a reminder that despite all differences – no matter who we are, where do we come from, if rich or poor, etc. – we all are the same when it comes to health. We are all fragile. I want to raise the awareness of how important it is for us all to be united. All of a sudden the entire world is sharing the same fears, and we all are fighting the same enemy. We cannot take for granted our health, closeness of the loved ones and our lifestyle any longer.
White Noise paintings were created in acrylic technique on wooden board in 2021. They are framed, with passe-partout and ready to hang on a wall or put on a table. I developed my own, unique painting technique. I used the cake industry tools to symbolize a sweetness of art as an antidote after a long time of bitter tasting stress and fears of the coronavirus pandemic. That is why my paintings are three-dimensional, almost like a sculpture. When viewed from the side, you can see how creations protrude, extend from the surface.
There is no coincidence. Each and every little element is carefully planned, scheduled, tried and eventually performed. The repetition of painting´s components correlate with the idea of the subtle repeating pattern of the white noise itself. The pastel color and the small size of the painting symbolize the innocent and tiny, new born child – an allegory for the beautiful healthy life and hope for better times.
