ARTIST STATEMENT

GRIGODAS' artistic activity is based on an interest in the culture and history of her native land. She is from Irkutsk and has roots from Buryatia and the Trans-Baikal Territory. Her work is the disclosure of the cultural characteristics of the Buryat people. A forgotten and interesting story is revealed in her works in a new way and is born anew. She works not only with Buryat culture but also with unusual historical archives that affect her from the inside. She represents archival data through video art, 3D graphics and generative art.
