the art of Masha SadMe
I supplement the surrounding reality with fictional scary creatures. When I do this the usual things are more fun. Since I remember myself, I like to scare and make people laugh. And I find it great that this habit does not go away, that in my art I do not become a person who takes himself and everything around too seriously.
I don't find my characters scary, they can also be vulnerable, funny, ridiculous. When I describe my works, I often leave the choice for the viewer, how will the situation shown on the painting be resolved? This is kind of a game, an open ending as a test for your imagination, and a way to tickle your irrational fears and to have a little fun.
In contrast to all the difficult situations in human life, we are given humor and art. It would be stupid not to use them.
