Daria Semenova, 1995. Born in Sergiev Posad (Moscow region).
For me, experimenting with materials and their chemical properties is important in order to convey as much as possible the processes of distortion of both meanings and forms.
Turning to my background as a person born in the center of the Orthodox culture of Russia, I also retransmit religious meanings, confronting them with a modern context in my works.
In my works I create a kind of pseudo-reality, which is based on my attitude to the surrounding reality, as well as personal reasoning in the areas of: mythology, history, religion and evolutionary forecasts.
Artistic practice is dedicated to the process of personal awareness of the mechanisms of perception, as well as the study of various distortions, both material and metaphorical.
Since 2021 - member and co-founder of the DRUSBA art collective.
