Dasha Maltseva’s art is about the sensation of things and phenomena — their states, their history. For the artist, it is essential to grasp the essence of her subject and distill its precise formula into a painted monument. She conveys her ideas through figurative painting, yet her manipulation of images serves as her own form of abstraction. Dasha Maltseva does not merely recreate them but follows her concept of reinterpretation: she acts as a researcher, exploring their alternative properties, meanings, transformations, and perpetual cycles of decay and rebirth. In this way, she discovers new modes of interaction with them, liberating them from familiar contexts and translating them into the language of painterly poetry.
This interplay keeps both the artist and the viewer in a state of constant tension, breaking free from conventions — blurring the line between the rational and the logical, the intuitive and the sensual. Her works often take on strange textures and “nervous” painterly-graphic combinations, yet Dasha Maltseva remains confident in the truthfulness and precision of her language. Each piece is an affect — a reborn fusion of the mundane and the familiar. Yet it does not demand decoding; rather, it is meant to resonate as a singular, cohesive construct.
