Mother, Two Heads of Sheep, and Consequences – Mixed Media Artwork on Creation, Mortality, and Duality
This artwork explores the juxtaposition between the nurturing essence of motherhood and the inevitable passage of time. Through the image of two ram heads, the painting channels ancient Egyptian mythology, where the solar deity, once entering the realm of shadows, transforms into an aged figure. The theme of fertility, both a blessing and paradox, becomes a harbinger of mortality, reminding us that every act of creation is intertwined with the inevitable consequences of life and death. The cyclical nature of existence, reflected through this mythological and sacrificial imagery, underscores the complex duality of creation and destruction.
At its core, this piece captures the bittersweet beauty of birth, growth, and the eventual decay that follows. It blends ancient myth with modern existential themes, creating a visual dialogue on the cyclical nature of life. The combination of soft pastels, deep sanguine reds, and dark charcoal shades invokes a sense of timelessness, while the subtle references to Egyptian symbolism speak to the eternal dance between life and death, creation and destruction.

Presentation
Dagmar Gertot is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, sound/video artist, performer, director, composer.
Education: graduate of the St. Petersburg Art Lyceum at the Mukhina School. Studied at the State Architectural University (GASU, St. Petersburg, 2011-2013) and the Repin Academy of Arts (major: easel painting, art historian, 2013-2014). Graduated from the Private School of Perfumers (St. Petersburg, 2015-2016).
FASHION ART PROJECT
After a trip to Japan, Dagmar entered the fashion industry. Inspired by Japanese contemporary fashion, connected with traditions, cultural codes, and authentic technologies, she launched her own avant-garde brand of clothing and perfumes, Nomad Goba, in 2016. The brand was presented in stores worldwide: London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Sweden, Greece, and France.
SOUND & PERFORMANCE PROJECTS
In her early sound projects, she combined traditional motifs of funeral songs from Siberia and Mongolia to the Balkans and Central Asia, creating her own musical landscape. Dagmar uses analog musical instruments, preferring live sound.
Her performative art during this period was based on her awareness of being close to the Saturnian principle as opposed to the Dionysian, focusing on the theme of sacrifice and the search for new eschatological practices.
This intense period culminated in solo music albums, the first of which was released on the French label Cyclic Law, as well as singles, live performances, and vocal-instrumental improvisations. One of Dagmar's latest solo albums represents what she calls "a step towards my authenticity, a step towards legitimizing my own madness."
Since 2020, her performative and vocal practices have centered around the exploration and immersion into the sex industry and BDSM. Her interest lies in the intellectual study of sadistic aspects of the psyche, violence, control, and the extreme vulnerability as a powerful resource for processing complex experiences.
Through bodily practices, Dagmar has formulated an artistic statement on the marginal status of sex industry workers and perversions in this area. By drawing attention to this subject, Dagmar also addre
sses related issues of women's rights and religiously motivated repressive practices against women. The performance is constructed as a ritual of mourning, a lament for the victims of religious persecution. The research inspired the collection "Mondino's Method and 11 Beauties in the Landscapes of Etruria."
VIDEO ART PROJECT
Her video art projects document Dagmar's performances and integrate the artist's sound and dance projects.
