Statement
Dasha’s works show the reality of what’s going on in people’s psyche, their very real but invisible inner world. Hence she calls her style “psychorealism”. Dasha makes the unseen tangible. She aestheticizes emotional states and hopes that some difficult emotions become a bit easier to accept and live with for anyone who interacts with her art in any way, be it on a wall or a device screen.
Dasha’s psychorealistic pieces also open windows into spiritual homes for viewers. Her artworks are meant to be spaces, where they can feel safe, relaxed, and in control. Those windows and doors are indispensable especially when one is going through life challenges, whatever they may be.
