Dreams to Grow Into – KVARTIRA S

Evgenia Shvetsova’s exhibition “Dreams to Grow Into” tells the story of how an artist dreams of the future from early childhood. Many dreams are destined to fail, yet the most childlike and naïve ones unexpectedly come true.

Childhood memories and fantasies hold a special place in Evgenia Shvetsova’s art. Implausible dreams, imaginary scenarios from childhood games, and fantastical stories—all become part of her works. The artist’s practice resembles an experiment in which every sorrow and joy is transformed into imagery on canvas.

Every person carries echoes of the past—memories from childhood that shape their perception of the world. Evgenia Shvetsova invites viewers to see and experience this through the prism of new meanings and motifs, immersing themselves in the imaginary worlds she creates. The artist uses deliberately distorted compositions and vivid forms of colour—thus always leaving viewers room for free interpretation and imagination. Each work becomes an opportunity to return to the beginning—to childhood—and reconsider one’s path through life.

“Dreams are like clothes bought to grow into—they seem unattainable and impossible, yet at a certain moment they do become reality”.
