contemporary artist

Born in 1985. Lives and works in Moscow.
Member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia.
I’m an artist of an up-to-the-minute idea. I don’t tend to plan long term. For me, a sketch is a couple of strokes on a small piece of paper for several minutes. There’s no long work.
I take a canvas and hit the ground running when I am under emotions. My paintings are created in the process, on the canvas. I never know what there will be in the end.

A ready picture is a mirage, which either appears or disappears again. Ideas for art are unlimited. I am inspired by the history of the world, mythology and religion. I realize big fundamental themes through small details. It’s an exciting game with small hints, in which spectators are involved.

The main approaches of my work are to take out of context, to show the whole through a part, to push to search for answers and to put ideas in a bright form.

The new series is dedicated to sports. Golf is an integral part of my life, as is painting. The combination of my two passions gave rise to a new theme in my work.
unfreedom

Unfreedom is the word of 2020. Along with philosophical comprehension, it received its physical embodiment in ubiquitous lockdowns.
