\u201cLiubist\u201d<\/strong> is a rarely used Ukrainian word that means the same as \u201clove.\u201d The same \u2014 yet not quite. Liubist<\/em> carries an additional dimension \u2014 an all-encompassing sincerity, authenticity, and dramaturgy that Pavlo Mazai always seeks.<\/p>\n Dramaturgy<\/strong> and authenticity<\/strong> are his favorite words, and this very liubist<\/em> culminates in a kind of self-portraited infinity \u2014 Mazai as a demiurge, once again creating heaven and earth, channeling this entire mad Universe through himself.<\/p>\n In his works, he is always alone, surrounded, in the epicenter of the elements. He is both egg and grain, fire and water, root and plowed soil, and a scythe striking stone. And thirst is something Pavlo has plenty of. He still has no idea what \u201ccreative crisis\u201d means \u2014 exhaustion and burnout, the usual woes of an artist\u2019s unique life, somehow pass him by. Or maybe it\u2019s he who bypasses them.<\/p>\n Moreover, Mazai says that right now<\/em> he feels \u201ca very powerful surge of creativity. I\u2019ve never experienced such a strong creative rise as during the war.\u201d<\/p>\n Life, despite everything, inspires him every day. He\u2019s always in motion, always searching, always working \u2014 and always outside the city. Because in the city, there are walls. And walls don\u2019t inspire. In the city, he prints his works and holds exhibitions.<\/p>\n Mazai works in series \u2014 some are born from things that suddenly catch his eye and instantly spark a concept, a theme, an idea. Others take longer to unfold, until all the pieces fall into place. Meticulousness and spontaneity are his signature.<\/p>\n In fact, Pavlo values photography because \u201cit is silent,\u201d because \u201cit needs no words. It speaks differently and reaches everyone in their own way.\u201d<\/p>\n This exhibition is a kind of extract from various cycles: Myron\u2019s Land<\/em>, The House Where I Am Not<\/em>, Ovum<\/em>, Metrica<\/em>.

\nIt takes not only an insatiable artistic thirst but a certain creative audacity to close this eternal cycle of creation upon oneself.<\/p>\n
\nThe most important. The most essential. The most sincere. The most authentic.
