Ekaterina Sieedugina (Kordeliz)
Moment of calm
Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale. Oil on canvas, 2023. 74x94cm.
A painting from the surrealist series “Cognition”, reflecting my perception of the world through simple and universally understood objects that surround us. The artwork was created when I relocated to another country with my family. Through routine, we began to restore our psychological balance. It is the elementary routines that constitute our existence. The ability to wash and hang laundry implies confidence that the family will stay here for some time, capturing a moment of tranquility that provides hope for everything to be fine. The water in the painting symbolizes life’s unpredictability, alternating between calm and turbulence. It is crucial to find moments of tranquility and stability, even if it’s just hanging clean laundry.
