Daria Chernyshova

Intuition plays a leading role in Daria Chernyshova’s practice. The starting point of her work is an ephemeral vision seen by her inner eye. She documents these insights, supplementing them with records of emotions translated into a graphic language. The drawing process becomes a tool she uses to observe the ways in which the mind memorizes, stores, and reproduces information in reimagined form. The compositions of Intuitive Practice combine abstraction with geometric shapes and often include figurative elements referring to her personal recollections. They resemble tables, schedules, questionnaires, notebook pages or various containers that Chernyshova fills out during sessions of self-reflection.
