A LIVE CURATION WITH

Ekaterina Popova

In her recent practice, Ekaterina has explored interiors as the ever-evolving idea of "home" as an immigrant. The work has slowly evolved from being reflective and sentimental to being mindful and present in my current environment. She repeatedly paints her own bedroom, visits other people's homes, and uses reference photos submitted to her online. Her paintings include messy rooms, inanimate objects, and items that refer to human presence without including the figure. She picks up on the subtle tones, lighting, and mood of each location in order to capture the emotion she associates with the space and then exaggerate sthe color to create a dream-like image.
