Subtitle: Sexuality, Subconscious, and the Power to Create Rules
Blurb:
This book traces the artistic journey of Nina Murashkina and the evolution of her distinctive concept of “Magical Feminism”—a personal visual language through which she explores femininity, desire, power, identity, and human relationships. Born from her fascination with mythology, storytelling, sexuality, and the subconscious, Murashkina’s art has developed into a world where women are not passive figures, but powerful mythological beings who create their own rules. Her female protagonists can be sensual and innocent, tender and provocative, vulnerable and dominant. Through symbolism, irony, and eroticism, she questions conventional ideas of femininity and masculinity, transforming them into her own contemporary mythology. The book brings together different stages of Murashkina’s career across painting, ceramics, and sculpture, revealing a fictional universe where every character has a story and every symbol carries meaning. An important part of this journey is her long-term artistic collaboration with Catalan sculptor Xavier Escala. Together, they explore the Goddess as an archetype of feminine strength, sensuality, transformation, and power, creating works where sculpture, mythology, and contemporary art converge. More than a collection of artworks, this book is an invitation into Murashkina’s personal mythology—a universe shaped by "Magical Feminism", where femininity becomes a source of freedom, power, imagination, and creation.
