WINE TASTING & ART DISPLAY Extended hours from 11am - 6pm for PICNIC DAY
Regina Zavodovskaya’s art may strike you as abstract, but upon closer viewing, just about all of it turns out to be figurative: There’s a landscape, a still-life, an animal portrait, a lab specimen of living tissue, piano keys resembling a collection of human faces.
Regina’s pieces teem with surreal transformations, trickster ambiguities (she often describes her works with questions, which is telling) and psychedelic patterns. Movement and intensе, fierce emotion are what breathes life into them.
Whether they’re of dancers, fairytale characters or simply people navigating the struggle of being human, her portraits and figures pulsate with tension. You can’t help but be stirred into empathy with these protagonists and their palpable yearning for freedom. The effect is often challenging — sometimes, disturbing, but consistently cathartic.
Longing for liberation is perhaps the central theme in Regina’s work.
Even the more serene depictions of the inanimate beauty she encounters in the world channel rebellion — rebellion against the pedestrian conformism standing between us and authentic perception.
The unapologetically political work she’s produced since 2022 is seething with outrage at the banality of evil and the grotesque, unnatural cruelty it visits upon the world.
Regina’s technique, which reflects her training as a painter, certainly feeds into her works’ dynamism. She’s very much a multimedia artist, yet even her digital pieces are spattered with splashes, blotches and strokes reminiscent of the flowing and flying physical medium of paint.
In Regina Zavodovskaya’s own words: “My work is fueled by my need to discover the
innermost, authentic truth and to figure out who I am. Therefore, these are mostly
spontaneous images I discover while on a journey in my neurological pathways.”
