Everything starts with the virtual meeting a smiling, online fitness instructor. Looking perfect, SHE is training just in front of you – on the monitor screen. SHE is a machine in doing push-ups. She is encouraging you using motivating remarks, believing that you can also do it! At no time she becomes your best friend. SHE is the one who is waiting for you "at home", and SHE has invited you at her place, too, smiling again and again, inspiring you with confidence that change is in you! She is now your idol.
The series of paintings – a self portrait Total Body, are provoked by my attempts to sculpt a perfect and strong body with "my online fitness instructor" ’s help. The depicted bodies have ceased to carry the proper meaning of an anatomical and physical regularity, but they have begun to sound in an abstract way. The form has lost its determination and integrity, as well as the obsession with a perfect body can deform the look over oneself to unreal dimensions.
