Kinderseele
“By weeping, I want to impress someone, to bring pressure to bear upon someone (“Look what you have done to me”). It can be-as is commonly the case-the other whom one thus constrains to assume his commiseration or his insensibility quite openly; but it can also be oneself: I make myself cry, in order to prove to myself that my grief is not an illusion: tears are signs, not expressions.
By my tears, I tell a story, I produce a myth of grief, and henceforth I adjust myself to it: I can live with it, because, by weeping, I give myself an emphatic interlocutor who receives the “truest” of messages, that of my body, not that of my speech: “Words, what are they? One tear will say more than all of them.”
Roland Barthes. A lover’s Discourse: Fragments
Kinderseele is a Ukrainian artist working across painting, ceramics, drawing, and installation. Her pseudonym, derived from the German word meaning “child’s soul,” reflects the central themes of her practice — vulnerability, emotional depth, and the inner landscape of the self.
Kinderseele’s work blends naive visual aesthetics with the tactile fragility of material. She often uses hand-formed ceramic frames to hold intimate drawings inspired by anime, childhood memory, and subconscious emotion. Her pieces explore silence and softness as radical gestures, where the medium itself becomes part of the message, exposing tenderness as a form of resilience.
