LIDA STOLIAROVA / ARTWORK

DON QUIXOTE AND THE POPE, 2022

This work explores the timeless clash between ideals and power Using silver, acrylic, and the blackening technique, a contrast is created between the figure of Don Quixote - symbolising unwavering faith in ideals - and the Pope, who embodies earthly power and authority The interaction of these symbols reveals the theme of delusion: the struggle between inner convictions and external pressure, and the vanity and chaotic transience of earthly life

02 / THE PRACTICE

A living surface

Lida Stoliarova

Metal is not silent
It remembers, reacts, transforms

I treat it as a living surface — copper, brass, silver, and gold carry not only material weight but also emotional and spiritual memory

It speaks through rust, oxidation, and the sound of prayer — revealing itself in texture, color, and quiet presence

Each work becomes a moment of encounter between metal and time
