Artwork commentaries
Artist on her paintings I keen on exploring how exactly are the things, created by someone’s hands, capable of influencing the consciousness of the same person. Thus, we observe the result of tectonic shift in perception, a certain replacement of standards: once the symbol of "luxurious life" has now become a symbol of bad taste and impoverishment ... Through this project, I aim to change the already established paradigm, transforming the symbolism and familiar format of the rug into a new standalone image, a successful example of contemporary art.” Artist on her paintings At the heart of the project concept is the problem of defining national identity, rooted in the metaphysical question of the essence of human being. Trends in globalization standardize the social fabric, triggering a defensive response — the rise of self-awareness of the certain indifferent individuals. Despite the crisis of identity, one is forcing oneself to form a single model of perception, focusing on fashion, offsetting the diversity of multifacetedness, thereby endangering cultural identity. Hence the reaction of the author is to protect the uniqueness of her ethno-cultural community, to present a meaningful attitude as opposed to universal impersonality. Unlike the previous floral series, this one is deliberately screen-printed, the flowers become repeaters of the voice of the past, schematized and seemingly crawling on the walls, turning to cave paintings.” Roksana Rublevskaya, chief editor at Art Ukraine 'Galina Brailovskaya, journalist at the in-art media 
 * “The basis of my work is the image. It is interesting to me to take as the basis of my work the simple thing, that in the process becomes a living being, breathing, feeling... I am also fascinated by our culture, our ethnic group, it has some "deep simplicity". The main thing for me is honesty, because only sincere work will have real value, only if you experience and understand it. ”
 * “My painting project "Disappearing" transforms archaic forms into a work of contemporary art — a rug.
 * “Despite its realistic scale, Korf-Ivaniuk does not attempt to reproduce the actual shapes and texture of the carpet, but only to emphasize some characteristics of the selected item. The rhythm, harmony of colour and background make it possible to feel the image in its entirety. Being familiar from the folklore books, the patterns are interwoven into a perfect and always unique composition. Some of the rugs presented are deliberately aged, worn, which raises the subject of memory. This is also indicated by the separately exhibited reports under the glass, the vivid fragments of patterns formed from the repetition of the figures, located near each other, thus forming the main composition of the carpet.
 * Nataliia Korf-Ivaniuk's creativity is characterized by a philosophical vision of nature and its perception by human. For several years, the abstract images of plants have been blossoming at her paintings. They fascinate with bright colour spots, harmonious composition and gallant lines.
