About this artwork
Living in an urban environment, a person feels his incredible alienation from the world he originated. It seems to be almost insoluble existential issue to overcome the eternal feeling of loneliness caused by the gap between I(ego) and the rest of the universe. People permanently «expand» their egos by frantic purchasing gadgets, clothes, cars, building monstrously gigantic entertainment shopping centers, cleaning out the space from the life itself,…
and replacing it with useless things. This way the individual consoles himself with the illusion that there is some indestructible substance, something that he can buy and actually obtain a new hypostasis of himself. However, this turns out to be just a primitive illusion of immortality. It is indisputable fact that such state of affairs does not answer vital existential questions. On the contrary, it obscures the mind, fills it with fictions, suppressing genuine human needs.

« For me, art is not only some beautiful sculptures or paintings, it is the way we see and treat each phenomena in the world, a specific angle of perception. »
Daniel Mille is a young talent from Belarus whose sculptures have been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally. Inspired by books about plants and wild animals when he was a kid, Mille decided to become an artist to convey the beauty of nature to others. His bronze sculptures are both figurative and abstract, portraying birds or traveling nomads, always full of detail and smooth textures.
