Liza Yuzhaninova/ Book Edition

‘’In my works, I boldly address one of the most challenging tasks in textile art: depicting the human figure in the tapestry technique. My plastic language, devoid of excessive ornamentation, explores the profound nuances of human intimacy and the nature of existential "hunting" as an integral part of the human experience. I emphasize the dual nature of human beings: we are both predators and prey, and life itself is a struggle to stay "fed." In my works, the environment, whether it is an urban interior filled with everyday details or a fragment of the wilderness, becomes an active participant in the narrative and reveals the psychological relationships between the characters and the environment. My works do not simply record everyday scenes or allude to the primitive ritual of hunting; they embody the drama of survival and the search for warmth, security, and mutual support. This is an art form where every woven image is born from a keen professional attention to the material nature of textiles, and the compositional rigor emphasizes the dramatic nature of human existence.’’
