Created in the Nordic Artists’ Centre, Dale, Norway.

Sidorovas’s work focuses on everyday objects originating from common cultural or personal spaces, speculating on the ambiguity of their visual representation and meaning. Dominykas Sidorovas’s creative method balances between reality and fiction, as the artist attempts to place everyday or even mundane objects within the realm of fiction, thereby enabling them to gain additional contexts and meanings.

He observes visual shifts from representation to abstraction and from one particular object to another. Sidorovas deconstructs, deforms, and visually cleanses the images of the objects while exploring their essence, which allows them to function not as products of mimicry but rather as visual symbols. His reductionist approach, which includes references to social and cultural contexts, is complemented by an artistic research based on contemporary philosophy and the study of the field of art, providing a theoretical context for the painter’s work.
