ARTIST STATEMENT
In the process of studying the history of art, I have repeatedly relied on the fact that applied art, no matter how banal it may sound, is marginalised and belittled in every possible way. It is considered not so much a real 'high' art as a craft or some hobby. For a while I thought of creating works in this field to prove the opposite - applied art is no worse than paintings, and often, due to its interaction with materials, can say even more than traditional painting.

However, after a long search, I realised that my work should not prove anything to anyone. Rather, I want to show how I can create something that makes our world more beautiful.
ARTIST STATEMENT
В процессе изучения истории искусства, я неоднократно упиралась в факт, что прикладное искусство, как бы банально это не звучало, всячески маргинализировано и принижено. Его считают не столько настоящим ‘высоким’ искусством, сколько ремеслом или каким-то хобби. Какое-то время я думала создавать работы в этой сфере, чтобы доказать обратное –прикладное искусство ничуть не хуже картин, а нередко, за счёт его взаимодействия с материалами, может сказать даже больше традиционной живописи.

Однако после долгих поисков, я поняла, что мои работы не должны ничего никому доказывать. Скорее, я хочу показать, как я могу создавать что-то такое, что делает наш мир, прекраснее.

Zodiac signs

The Zodiac Signs project became the hallmark of the artist.


During one year, the artist created a unique author's image of each zodiac sign.


Each zodiac sign is absolutely unique. Karina Gulyaeva-Garber drew inspiration from the myths and legends of Ancient Greece.


In this series, the artist works with female images, adding to them the sacredness of the human soul, mystery and hoax. Each of the "Zodiac signs" carries individual features and creates deep symbolism from a typical zodiac sector.


These images are used to create unique bar stools. The artist also produces a limited series of Giclee prints with these zodiac signs. A large project of animated NFTs will also be launched soon.
