ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In my "PERICHORESIS SERIES," the painting titled "Faith is Tested in Difficult Times" captures the essence of enduring spiritual strength amidst life's adversities. It portrays figures nestled among ethereal angels, each clutching a heart—symbolic of the core of human emotions and beliefs. The presence of these celestial beings represents the unseen support that faith provides, even when it is most challenged. This artwork is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit, urging viewers to find solace in their faith during tumultuous times, emphasizing that even in moments of profound doubt, we are subtly supported and never truly alone.
PERICHORESIS SERIES
“Perichoresis” (ancient Greek περιχώρησις - “interpenetration”), a theological term meaning the mutual penetration of divine parts into each other, to describe a unique union that does not imply mixing or merging, but emphasizes an indivisible unity.
Daria explores the theme of new sexuality, deliberately choosing a term from theological treatises for her series of works.
With this gesture, she protests against the dictates of religion, the church’s manipulation and pessimization of human sexual manifestations and physicality, the false meanings and concepts with which religions have burdened, and instead of building true connections and bridges for man and God, they build walls.
“Perichoresis” for her is a beautiful and complex term that describes the fusion of the divine and the material. Having grown up in the Protestant tradition within an Orthodox society, Daria notes the common separation of sexuality from divinity in all these religions, while she sees sexuality as the clearest manifestation of divinity, beauty, and sublimity.
The artist notes that Christian culture has invested the image of the female body with a narrative of pornographic tension, while at the same time presenting paradise before the Fall as a sexual paradise, the Garden of earthly pleasures. For the artist, sexual paradise is a safe environment, complete trust, acceptance, the opportunity to open up and discover the Other, the opportunity to learn to be loved and to love.
Love is an environment where merging does not dissolve in another person, but on the contrary, strengthens the individuality of each and enriches each other.
Thus, the artist reminds that the division into the sublime and the low in love is artificial, and overcoming this division can make life more beautiful. The heroes of her paintings are immersed in the enigmatic space of love, and sometimes there are ironic scenes that balance the degree of sublimity.

2012 Collaborate Project Light of Hearts, Luhansk Ukraine Dasha Pogodina about her art New sexuality and personal integrity - are the basic areas of search in my artistic practice.
In my practice, I problematize the ideal of the metamodern world with its total moderation and the desire to return to high ideals and values. As an artist, I concentrate on the nature of the corporeal, I perceive the body as a membrane reflecting me into this world and communicating the world to me. In search of answers, I enter into dialogue with the body-sensory lexicon of Kiki Smith and Paula Modersohn Becker and also find support in the sublime physicality of the early Gothic of the 13th century from Giotto, unencumbered by the tension of formal anatomy. My works are filled with color, and ethnic decoration and are illustrative at the same time. This turns my paintings into light, at first glance, stories, which, however, do not call the viewer to cold contemplation, but, on the contrary, open up the opportunity to safely return to their secret “I”.
I use the space of naive archetypal images, creating a safe haven from aggressive modernity, with the opportunity to dive into the psychological depths of my own worldview. I build into my paintings the mechanics of oscillation of naivety and mockery, trust and cynicism, chastity and debauchery, strength and kindness, as a manifesto of courage to be vulnerable and herbivorous in a world where food chains still exist.
