The artworks of 2031 series bring up the subject of epochs clash and the search for balance in a modern technological world. Symbolic accents in this series are even more contrasting. On one side are the symbols of common human experience, centuries-old knowledge and unlimited human potential expressed by means of ancient Greek gods images. On the other side are social phenomena of the modern digital world – digital overconsumption that affects the whole human culture in a destructive manner.

2031 series

Seeing the world through smartphone's lens has become an integral part of a modern person. These filters between us and the external world have become an organic part of reality. Many studies show that in the last 10 years the Mankind's growing digital addiction has significantly influenced our behavior and culture in general.
Artworks from The Epoch and Cult series are metaphors for that social problem. They call for mindfulness in a modern world, where main commodity is our attention.

We took inspiration mostly from the works of Charlie Brooker, the creator of the Black Mirror show, and Ray Bradbury's books, in particular Fahrenheit 451.

Cult series

MIXED

• The Geniuses • is a collection of portraits of great people who have changed and keep changing the world. For us • The Geniuses • is a way of sharing inspiration with other people.
Dripping technique is a combination of intuition, emotions and the feeling of moment. In a sense, it is freedom. When applied in •The Geniuses• collection of pictures, it becomes a metaphor that amplifies the meaning. Drips on each picture express the uniqueness, greatness and power of the person.

At its core lies the idea of digitalization and how it affects the value of time in the modern world (epoch).

THE EPOCH COLLETION

The shapes you see on every picture of this series evoke associations with a person who lives inside the moment.
Inside the Moment series emphasizes what is important and denies vanity.
Calligraphy demonstrates the cyclicity of vanity — the persistence of recurring processes and systematic actions.
In our artwork you will also see the footprints of this vanity. The important is inside the moment.
