Exploring human perception and practices of self-definition, the artist suggests seeking a point of grounding in real or imagined natural environments—at the foot of mountains, along the coastline, or among ruins.

Exploring human perception and practices of self-definition, the artist suggests seeking a point of grounding in real or imagined natural environments—at the foot of mountains, along the coastline, or among ruins. These spaces create an opportunity for observation from a certain distance: this distance allows one to deconstruct their relationship with a rapidly changing reality.

Artur seeks to draw the viewer away from the conventions of the surrounding world through the quiet of inner imagery. "Like a fountain or a vessel, vague knowledge and ideas flow into our reality, creating ripples on the surface," the artist explains. "If we momentarily slow the breath of time, the ripples will disappear, and an understanding of the picture of the world will emerge."
The structure of the exhibition Inhabited Ruins can be described as a journey from disorder to transformation: the viewer witnesses how various forms arise out of uncertainty, and how abstract landscapes gradually evolve into the space of a garden. Within this system, the garden becomes the result of human effort and intellectual inquiry. It appears as a metaphor for harmony and order, and as a way of expressing one’s understanding of the world and one’s place within it.

In Artur Samofalov’s works, ruins become a source of creation and the emergence of the new. They admit the human presence, nature, and other material environments as a welcoming habitat, continuing their influence and transformation regardless of our perceptions of them.
