The spirit of an era can only be truly felt once it has passed. The same is true for a place: its atmosphere, its soul are often easier to grasp for an outsider, a contemplator from a different cultural dimension. For artistic reflection on these foreign elements of art, nature, and life, it is crucial to have a passionate, positively biased attitude; you must fall in love with the place and the people you wish to portray. This sentiment can be found in Alexey Savvin's painting series «Red Earth».

The artist creates his works inspired by the African mythology, rituals, daily life, and crafts. He uses vibrant colours, which are typical for the African art, and geometric patterns to convey the energy and dynamism of the African culture. In Savvin's paintings, traditional African elements are interwoven with contemporary artistic practices. The series offers a deeper insight into Africa's aesthetic views and history, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of its artistic heritage. The artist hopes to inspire dialogue, understanding, and respect for the cultural diversity of the world.
