How beautiful is the flowers’ bloom…
Over the years blooming flowers were a source of powerful inspiration for artists, starting from the floral still lifes of the XVII century to the Impressionist’s capturing an instant, a momentary state of the light in nature. In ‘Filtered’ project the artist develops this long lasting tradition of depicting blooming flowers or, in other words, symbols of beauty, though rethinking it’s meaning and reformulating a renewed vision of its — perception of beauty — development in today’s world. When every pixel is being edited, concealing natural dignity of either human or any conceivable object, beauty is no longer beautiful.
Thus, deliberately choosing the most inappropriate red filter for the perfect bouquet of sunflowers, the ‘Filtered’ project not only devalues the picturesque colors, pictorial nature of the flower’s bloom, with one gesture — filter — wiping out the beauty contained therein and turning their complex multicoloured texture into a red-brown stain, but exposes the ubiquitous tendency of distortion and embellishment of everything and everyone.
