- The Herb Girls of Birkenau -
Description by Fyodor Krasniy
Inspired by one of my favourite songs by \'Rasputina\' Birkenau was a death camp complex in the concentration camp Auschwitz, during WWII in Gemany. \"Experiment victims walk by on a hill With berries in aprons, I still see them.\" This is a depiction of twisted ghosts from the deathcamps. The way they still haunt the hillsides drenched in blood, and torment to remind us of what we are capable of. I am fascinated by the things humanity does to itself, the horrors and evils. There seems to be as much creativity for evil as for good. And a lot of people tend to deny that evil in themselves, in turn letting it go unhindered. I believe that if we accept our demons and the terrors that we keep inside, then we can tame them. Tame them and use them for good. Which is why I paint beautiful terrors, so the viewer can at the same time, be horrified, and yet have a desire for them.
