The body as a canvas. 4har

How intuitive movements become art.

What if your body could become not just a carrier of emotion, but a true tool for creating art? I explore this idea through movements inspired by the Japanese dance Butoh, an art form that not only visually expresses feelings, but also delves into the depths of the subconscious. Butoh teaches us to look for answers not in words, but in what is hidden in the body.My paintings are born out of the sensations I experience through movement. I shoot intuitive dances, allowing the body to express emotions freely without thinking about the outcome. Each still frame becomes a frozen moment that I translate into a drawing and then into a painting. These frozen poses are not just images, but emotional experiences that become part of my work.
In today's world, when we so often forget to listen to ourselves, I find importance in rediscovering this channel - the body. And I'm curious: when was the last time you listened to your body? What feelings or desires is it hiding? How often do you give yourself the opportunity to just be rather than do?
I've added videos to the carousel where there's no beauty or aesthetics, but there is honesty. Personally, I was raised that you can't show your emotions, it's very uncomfortable for other people. So far I'm afraid to go in that direction, so far I've used light experiences or pleasant feelings. But I see that not manifesting strong emotions kind of freezes life.
