My Work Is My Personal Theatre, Katerina Belkina

Photography merges with painting – In her works, Russian artist Katerina Belkina uniquely combines visual art forms with digital image processing. An illustrated book with art historical discourse.

The focus of her works is always the human being, mostly the woman. In the process, Belkina herself takes on a triple cast of characters: she is motif, director, and visual artist all at once. Based on feminist principles, the Russian artist shows everyday life from a female perspective. Whereby the woman is not portrayed as an object, but is above all energy. In her picture series “Not a Man’s World” she presents herself self-confidently smoking a pipe and with a raised forefinger. However, Katerina Belkina does not want to denounce, but rather seeks answers to the question: Who is she as a woman, an artist, a mother or a member of society?
