GUEST DJ SIMON ANDREWS
'A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time
and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.'
Albert Einstein
My Life Tapestries series was inspired by the connection of all living creatures sharing the same space,
the same world within the Universe. Drawing on my own near death experiences
I explore my subject to the very boundaries between life and death and everything that is that 'in between'
space. The series is painted mainly on silk fabric with mixed media, oil. ink and
collage.

Conrad Hotel
Paintings from Conrad Hotel
I revisited my paintings which you can see at the Conrad Hotel next to St Jame’s Park tube station in Westminster London.
I painted 650 politicians from the House of Common and the House of Parliament in total. It was an intense and fantastic experience.
I had a lot of fun with it.
Transitory objects
Art is a necessity for me. It is an every day experience. Clothes are an extension of this creative and performative process. My belief is that making clothes is not a static process; clothes are transitory objects. We live in our clothes, we move and we experience how they feel on our skin. Colors and textures are for me a crucial part of a designing process as they resonate with our emotions.
Art should comfort and stimulate us at the same time.
"There is no such a thing as art. there are only people producing things that give them pleasure'.
'There is no such a thing as art. there are only people producing things that give them pleasure'.
Billy G.Carter
In my idea of beauty there is no glamour aspect. My work relates immediately to how I feel about life. My whole life has been in the pursuit of the truth. The most interesting for me is to deepen myself, my mind, into a human body, the head in particular. For me painting is necessity. It is placing myself outside my own experience. It gives the privilege of being looked at and the pleasure of investigation of what could be painted. I picture people recovering from their own stories. The most important part for me is to paint people with respect to authenticity and their spirit. I was preoccupied with the idea of making private biography public. It was a reaction to certain kind of repressiveness. I do not paint people as they are. I paint them as I feel them to be. This is my private investigation into their character and personality. I explore my subject to the very boundaries between life and death. My models reflect the transcendent act of crossing the border of souls living in the body. My medium is ancient yet powerful- watercolour and ink. The intensity of the colour varies, yet remains full just like tasting life for the last time before death.
Celebrate your imperfections. The beauty will follow.
We live in a visually demanding society. There is so much pressure on the way we look and present ourselves that is sometimes breathtaking. How can we release the images stuck into our heads and be happy again without loosing our identity?
As Narain Ishaya stated yesterday at his book launch ''Chit Happens'' in London,
'Get rid of all your limitations. We impose limits on ourselves.' In the same way we can also release limiting beliefs. Free ourselves.
In regards to the subject I was investigating Aries -people who were born in the same month as me.
I did lots of research on the way Aries perceive reality and what are their strengths and weaknesses.
Here are the results.
Enjoy and start celebrating your body.
Sit for me
Dear Viewers- 'Sit for me'- story releasing project
Dear Viewers,
I started a project called 'Release your story' a while ago.
I would like to invite you to get engage in this project. I will paint your portrait from the picture you will send me on an email accompanied by the story that is or was bothering you and you wish to release it.
The results of this project would be posted on my blog after completing the painting.
Please note that by sending the picture and your story you agree to publish the story on my website next to the painting.(NOT the actual picture of you)
Here is why releasing your story is important.
Phenomenon of backstory
Story telling has been my personal quest. As Deepak Chopra said, 'You create stories around your thoughts. Then you live those stories and you call it life. What makes a person extraordinary is that he or she finds a way to tell a new story.' Rule the story that is running you. Events deeply buried in the past can sabotage you in the future without noticing it. They are like bombs.
To work on this project with me please send me an email
agatadimasternak@gmail.com
Story can be written in your language not necessarily in English.
Example
Release your memories
'Release your memories' by Agata di Masternak and Dana Fischer Côte
This project was born from a long time experiences I went through. It is showcasing my last performance. It is related to a notion of releasing our backstories that are holding us in one place. In order to move forward we need to do this step first.

What did you do today to change the world?
Hospital- face post surgery
What did you do today to change the world?
Each one of us has been given a chance to change this world every day.
Not everyone realises that. Do we actually want this world to be a better place?
That question actually became a cliché as everyone says it but there are only few who takes action.
By action I mean to start with yourself.
Let me rephrase this question. What did you do today to get to know yourself better?
Only through knowing yourself, by building your core values and self respect you can make a change.
Life is not only about glamour and beauty. It is also about pain, vulnerability and everything else that we are trying to hide.
This memorable picture was taken after my last 29th surgery with #snapchat so my face wouldn’t look too scary.
It always reminds me about how I started painting and how my very first “Heads”series of paintings was created.

Mark Rothko
Visiting Rothko’s at the MET in NYC
I love Rothko’s paintings. The space inside them allows you to dive into this vast world of possibilities and other dimensions. His paintings give us a room to breath the air from a different planet- so comforting.
