Dasha is a multidisciplinary Russian artist whose creative practice is expressed in jewelry design, painting, and photography-often incorporating her unique designs directly onto models’ portraits.
“Magpie” by Dasha is a vibrant symphony of form, color, and cultural symbolism. Set against a radiant orange backdrop, the composition is divided into two harmoniously contrasting panels. On the left, a symmetrical grid of bold geometric patterns surrounds a stylized flower-heart motif, evoking a sense of ritual, structure, and sacred balance. The interplay of black, white, and fiery gradients of orange suggests warmth, vitality, and inner strength.
To the right, dynamic magpies—rendered in sharp, angular abstraction—take flight in various poses, their wings stretched across a sea of vibrant orange. Their forms echo tribal markings and ancient totems, suggesting a fusion of folk tradition with modernist abstraction. The scattered red and black shapes around them feel like both movement and meaning whispers of migration, communication, and coded language in flight.
With “Magpie,” Dasha captures the essence of duality—stability and motion, heart and sky, earth and spirit. Her signature use of abstract geometry and rich symbolism reflects an intuitive understanding of both visual rhythm and emotional resonance.
Where geometry takes flight,
magpies dance between order and impulse—
a vibrant chorus of vision,
woven in bold rhythm and myth.
Her work is rich with visual exploration and emotional depth. One of her standout pieces, Magpie, reflects her deep admiration for Kazimir Malevich. In this striking composition, Dasha weaves abstract geometric forms with vivid colors and bold black tones, creating a powerful and dynamic visual language that speaks to both tradition and innovation.
