Description

Her myth got God. It is not the God of a specific religion, of theological arguments, and not an abstract, fully transcendent Creator.

It is not all-good, honey-sweet God, not the God of a specific gender, or with a specific name or agenda; not a judgmental, endlessly superior, all-knowing one.

It is very homey, even shy, and kind God, who does not know Him/Herself very well, but does understand flawed human condition. And at the same time, this God is "fully other," as Mircea Eliade has it, and fully numinous-the real thing.

It is the God who can only be super-personal, and come to each person in a unique way.

It is a very simple and unpretentious God, who is just this: living meaning. This God is both, the ultimate subject and creator of Sveta's art.

If you do not grasp such God, fine: go and find your own meaning.

This is, I think, the main message of her art; at least, it is what I receive from it the most vividly: it gives me a sturdy sense of the presence of meaning. Like her God, Sveta's art is homey, warm, approachable, and kind.

We all may be fans of Alex Gray and even H.R Gigerâ speaking of the spiritual, the imaginative, the channeling type of art.

But, we definitely can use some kindness on canvas. Sveta's art has a confident and distinct voice, and it speaks kindness.
