I was inspired by Shakespeare's quote, «Uneasy is the head that wears a crown», from Henry IV, or «Heavy is the head the wears the crown». This work is about power and responsibility, about how everything is temporary. The crown is represented as an extension of the head, it seems to grow into the head, as well as the crown becomes a crown of thorns, which emphasizes the burden of power, the more power the more responsibility. The crown is shown in a process of destruction, symbolizing that nothing is everlasting.
The colors in the photo may not differ significantly from the original, it depends on the computer screen.
Mariia Drozdova works in such techniques as painting, graphics, collage (analog, digital), photography, performance, computer graphics, icon painting, installation . The artist paints her whole life (for she remembers herself).
After receiving an academic education, Mariia works both in the classical areas of art and creates projects in the field of modern art, and believes that versatility, creative experimentation and love for her creativity are important for the artist.
The artist tries not to limit the work with any specific techniques or trends, if possible she tries something new, but at the same time she prefers symbolic art. In her paintings Mariia Drozdova unites the emotional and analytical approach.
