STAYING AFLOAT

2024

Oil on canvas

Imaggine yourself, floating in the water of public pools, surrounded by strangers with whom you share changing rooms, shower stalls, and swimming lanes. This series of works was born as a metaphor, where the interiors of the pools becomethe backdrop, while the faces of those who,like you,strive to stay afloat, take center stage in the composition

The series “The Picturesque Reality” blends abstraction and figurative art, reflecting the artist’s travels and thoughts. On the canvas, shades and characters exist between memory and imagination. These paintings form a collage of emotions and moods, where light and color interact with solitary figures

ABOUT

I see the world through movement—through fleeting gestures, unnoticed postures, the quiet ways bodies exist in space. For over a decade, I have been collecting these moments, sketching figures everywhere, transforming them into silent companions that fill the pages of my notebooks and the landscapes of my imagination.

“Filimonova’s paintings are full of hidden meanings, offering a rich, layered narrative that invites the viewer to interpret each piece in their own way.” — ArtUkraine (artukraine.com.ua) (https://artukraine.com.ua/)

I explore themes of memory and personal experience, weaving together figures, interiors, and landscapes to create an atmosphere rather than a linear story. Emotion and visual imagery take precedence over narrative, allowing my work to feel both familiar and mysterious—an open-ended conversation between the painting and the viewer.

“Her art doesn’t follow a clear plot. Instead, it’s built on emotion and abstraction, letting the viewer connect with the work in a deeply personal way.” — Ukraine Art News (ukraineartnews.com) (https://ukraineartnews.com/)
