Egor Laptarev

I am a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, drawing, and mosaic. My work focuses on the human body and its transformation through material and process.

I start from a classical figurative drawing and develop the image through layering, partially revealing and reshaping it over time. This creates a balance between control and unpredictability.

Mosaic is central to my practice. Using stone, glass, and fragmented elements, I explore texture, rhythm, and the interaction of light with the surface.

My work moves between figuration and abstraction, creating tactile compositions that invite closer viewing and emotional engagement.
