Medina Kasimova's 'Victory over Chaos' at the Private Charity Auction
Medina Kasimova, .ART's leading artist, showcased her painting "Victory over Chaos" at a Private Charity Auction themed around global instability and the quest for balance.
Medina Kasimova, the leading artist at .ART Domains, participated in the Private Charity Auction on May 14, 2024, presenting her painting “Victory over Chaos.”
The Private Charity Auction focused on the pervasive sense of instability felt globally. The theme of “vertigo” (French for dizziness) was chosen to encapsulate the disorientation and imbalance many experience today. This year’s auction highlighted the fragility of human existence in the ever-changing world, steering the narrative towards the overwhelming events that challenge our existence.
Anastasia Ivanova, Director of the Foundation behind the auction, commented, “The concept of ‘Vertigo’ – in other words, dizziness – aptly captures the state of many in today’s world. The sensation of striving for balance amidst collapsing certainties is something we all can relate to […] Artists experience and reflect in different ways everything that happens in the surrounding reality, this can be seen in their works.”

“Victory over Chaos” marks the beginning of a series exploring the disruptive nature of chaos, fear, and destruction, particularly as influenced by human behaviour. Kasimova’s intricate depiction features mythical elves symbolising diverse cultures, languages, and histories, engaging in a battle against an embodiment of chaos. Set against a backdrop of blue hues representing purity and hope, the painting conveys a powerful message of triumph, where goodness and wisdom prevail to restore harmony.
