"GOOD BYE INFINITIVE"
The opus represents the final stage of the genesis with the princess analogy that has been evolving for over a decade.
It conveys the existential message of diving into the unknown of life and manifests the princesses’ courageous "Goodbye" to passivity. Their peaceful reconciliation with destiny completely disappears to be replaced by dynamic airy movements directing them toward an unknown future and hope.
"Expertise and whimsy collide in Naumov's series of skillfully airy water colours depicting women in flight. More closely resembling landing spacecraft than ancient goddesses, and sporting nutty pompadours while dressed in oversized ball gowns, these hurtling super-heroines are a cross between Wonder Woman and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
Campy and fuel-injected, Naumov's muses don't light the imagination's sacred fire - they burn rubber on your forehead."
