Soft Maturity, 2022

Tetiana Borys  

The series "Dissonance of Softness" consists of five paintings: "Soft Silence," "Soft Solitude," "Soft Maturity," "Soft Fragility," and "Soft Indecision." The word "softness" does not resolve the issue of human dissonance, where people so often seek meaning in spiritual growth. On the contrary, with the knowledge of adulthood, they stand at a crossroads in search of themselves.
Maturity – the one who is not afraid to tell their story influences. The one who takes a step in this world wins. With actions or indifference. With love or cruelty. With laughter or tears. With gentleness or screaming. With joy or sadness. With sincerity or cunning. We change ourselves and the space around us. The latter, like a certain color spot, moves in a continuous flow, which affects our emotional, psychological, spiritual worlds. Today, black and white colors prevail, occasionally other - bright ones appear. A shining color adorns the surface from above, everything seems beautiful, but in reality – it is empty inside, or vice versa – primitive on the outside, but deep down – a treasure. And, what mature people leave behind is not always worth it….

This is one of my favorite series of works. Each painting complements the other. The series is like a joint conversation with other people.
After purchasing the painting, I carefully pack it in transparent film to prevent moisture from entering. Then in foam plastic. On top is packaging cardboard.
