Artist Statement

Dima’s collection of paintings portrays figures that, like flies, are unable to resist the tempting lights of the night.  The illusion that the bright night will guide individuals to fulfil their fantasies and desires traps the ‘heroes’ in a cycle of time. They repeatedly return to the start of their journey with the hope of self-fulfilment, thus re-living the night all over again.
