About this artwork
Depression - The Mental Illness of Modern Times
It is suppressed anger directed inward. It leads to self-destruction, self-isolation, and
a desire to hide from the realities of life, to retreat into the shadows. Sigmund Freud
described depression as frozen fear, accompanied by constant feelings of anxiety,
hopelessness, and helplessness.
A person can easily slip into a black hole, where these emotions and sensations
spiral and feed off each other.…
A person with depression often perceives the world as a tunnel: the space for action,
let alone the freedom to choose those actions, narrows down to a minimum.
There is no energy or strength for action, nor for making decisions, when there is no
strength even to think.
And there are no desires either.
No taste, no smell, no color, no movement.
Just an endless void…
This work is part of the series “In the Company of Sigmund Freud”, in which the artist
explores profound psychological states through symbolism and color.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Alisa Chernova is a painter and conceptual artist with a background in medical sciences and psychology, blending rigorous academic and art training to cultivate her unique voice. She masterfully employs acrylic on canvas, multilayered pours, dramatic light-shadow play, and rich textures, favoring gold, silver, and luminous foils to craft her signature emotional-psychological portraiture on the edge of reality and symbolism. Through bold contrasts and intricate symbolism, her works invite the viewer into a visual psychoanalysis, revealing the profound complexity of inner conflicts, vulnerability, and the universal search for self-recognition.
