DASHA PEARS
Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.
Dasha Pears is an award-winning artist, currently based
in Helsinki, Finland. Dasha's uncanny laconic art pieces are
focused on the self-discovery and our inner worlds. Aesthetically
clean and pleasing artworks are like doors to a
surreal universe where any psychological state becomes
beautiful. Dasha uses the instruments of surrealism, minimalism,
color, photography, and digital manipulation to
tell surprising visual stories with a twist. In her stories, she
speaks about the deepest psychological matters, bringing
things that are usually considered unpretty to light,
making them shine with different colors and aesthetically
appealing. This way Dasha's art gives viewers a chance to
be at peace with themselves, providing an almost physically
soothing effect on the human psyche.
“My works are a depiction of psychological and emotional
states, whether existing or desired. So in this sense,
I can’t call them surrealistic, as surrealism is based on
dreams and the unconscious, but rather psychorealistic
or subjectively realistic. I use the instruments of
minimalism, reducing all the clutter, to make my works
look sharper, more straightforward, and to the point. I
want to give my audience a breath of fresh air when
they look away from the messy, unstable, polluted, and
chaotic real world and get into a clean, controlled, and
calm reality, where it’s ok to be yourself. It’s like finding
a psychological or you can say “spiritual” home.”
