The starting point of Dominykas Sidorovas work is the object of everyday life. Rehabilitating a boring routine and the seemingly insignificant nouns in it, the artist tells the narrative of a person and poetry of everyday life. Things are characters whose monologues or dialogues are saturated with human intimacy, joy and frustration, past and never-happened adventures, love, sometimes even deterrence or fear. What matters is not a direct depiction of an object, but the artist’s sensitive view of a human and their relationships with the environment.

This painting is from the chapter “MONSTER”. Here Dominykas Sidorovas captures the moment when the objects of our everyday life instantly become unrecognizable, alien, seemingly independent, frightening, monstrous, perhaps even dangerous. The image of the thing appears as an other, often completely unpleasant.
