Sunny from inside to outside

fon

Besides painting and drawing Maria Pomiansky is working as videoartist . Last years she did a trilogy (three films): "Sunny from inside to outside" (2007, 24 min. ) about beauty, "The End of the Light" (2009, 22min.) about fears and "Glück это глюк" (2012,20 min.) about happiness

The initial idea was more of a scientific approach based on socio- anthropological research, interviews and opinions , but it ended up to be a poetic video essay. Working on this 3 films since 2006 Maria created her own visual language .The three films don't pretend to give a precise answer what is beauty fears or happiness. All three topics were just a reason to have a possibility talk in an indirect way about things like love , loneliness, sex,money, art , success and so on. The main focus was on the circle of people , friends mostly artists, musicians , writers which Maria finds very inspiring and tries to share her admiration with the public. A deep personal fascination is being transformed into an audiovisual landscape and is presented in a very sentimental, romantic stylistics. She is trying to find a poetic way of putting the accent on the emotional side of a problem without losing the essence. The geography of the films is reflecting Maria's biography , jumping from country to country and so filming in Russia ,Israel and Switzerland she tries to find her identity and to answer a question , to which place does she really belong.
