Case VII
Envisioned with the existential problem of artist hood and recurring decisive turning points in one's career - purely from a creative point of view - the young artist promptly, regularly and repeatedly addresses the issue of the self portrait. With the portrait as an artist, I, as a young woman, side by side with Pollaiuolo's warrior, the artist draws the theme of Le-donner-à-voir on herself. The young soldier, the curas adorned with scenes from the life of Hercules, resolutely faces the threatening and simultaneously redemptive future. Thus identifying the creative process of an image maker with the fate of personal life. The simple and small artist's apartment is turned into a spacious atelier. Thanks to the bold and well thought out use of mirrors the illusion is kept high. The young warrior, under protection of Hercules cherishes another illusion, namely that heroism is due.
Case VII, Variation I
Variations in Western art music is a musical form in which after the first statement of a theme, modifications or elaborations of it occur with each subsequent statement of that theme. In those subsequent statements, certain elements of the theme are retained, while others are altered. Ordinarily, enough are retained in order for the listener to be able to perceive the relationship of the modified statements to the original. Variations can be an interesting path for a visual artist to question her methods and position herself as a creative.
