Autoportrait
Children of Flower is a project that began to take shape in 2019, during one of the most difficult periods in Pavel’s life. Flowers became a form of psychological and emotional protection—an optical lens through which the artist tried to see the best in the world, make sense of what was happening to him, and preserve his ability to recognise beauty.
The images of children are connected to memories of a time untouched by deadlines, financial concerns, and constant haste. Pavel’s most vivid memories are of the summers he spent with his great-grandmothers, surrounded by gardens, forests, berries, and flowers. It was there that his love of nature and creativity began to emerge. He made dolls from grass, invented characters, and built small imaginary worlds of his own.
The project is also a tribute to the artist’s great-grandmothers—the roots of the family that provide a person with grounding, memory, and a sense of belonging. From these roots, one’s identity, inner world, and creative path gradually begin to grow.
Children of Flower is a story of protection, memory, and the inner purity from which art is born.
