Nesterenko Edith Born: February 23, 1987
Lives and works in Krasnogorsk, Moscow Region.

"I explore the phenomenon of digital romanticism, a longing for what is gone and for the sensual. Fields, architectural elements, mythical heroes, and animals are all means of conveying my emotions and feelings. Tears, which became the central theme of one of my series, represent an act of purification and renewal.
I work in various techniques, but oil pastels are always at the core of my practice. I also use my own authorial method, working with an unusual material - soap. This technique helps me create the effect of agedness and loss.
I explore the connection with nature through the prism of good and evil, the real and the unreal, as well as the shadow sides of human beings and their inner experiences. I contemplate the boundaries between dream and reality. Through childhood memories and moments of déjà vu, I return to my origins, referencing the time spent at my grandmother’s house.
When creating series of works, I shift the themes depending on my inner state during that period of time"
