It's hard to accept the fact that painting is very similar to nature due to its feature to be unpredictable. But Marina Koldobskaya speaks about her works as if they were living and independent things. Moreover, the usual pattern of the “artist creating the art” does not seem to work in this case. It would be more appropriate to say that the paintings, these wild creatures, are made of their own free will in the process of long dialogues with the artist.

The artist herself says: “I usually remake many, many times. Sometimes the surface turns into a kind of plaster, so that the canvas can not stand and you have to stick it on a solid base. Sometimes work torments me a few years. But after that, clarity comes, and then the next work is created quickly, only in three or four sessions. I am working at the same time on a dozen paintings, I can suddenly grab the old one and rewrite it. It is important for me to feel like a lock is snapped inside me: here it is, the very thing I want. ”

The exhibition in the DiDi Gallery will show some of the best paintings and graphic works, which covered the artist's career since the late 1990's right up to today.
