ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In Russia, an odd number of flowers are given to living people, and an even number to dead. Why are there two bouquets? One from a loved one and the other from a lover? Ten tulips for International Women's day on March 8 We used to live together with my girlfriend. There was a flower shop next to our house. On March 8 we walked home, apart, and we bought each other the same bouquet of flowers. I like the symbol of a bouquet with an even number of flowers. This is a Russian cultural code which endows any harmless story with a social conflict. Same-sex love in Russia and ten tulips.

Film director by education and self-taught as painter I rushed between cinema and painting until I came to the conclusion that I was not faced with a choice. I have a double set of tools to express my ideas. Thus, in addition to works in traditional oil technique, a series of installations combined by painting and video-art appeared. This combination of techniques opens up a huge field of dual themes like the nature of man and his social roles or transformation of material art into the environment of digital space. In 2021 as an artist you do not have the right to read morals and "impose" your opinion, this is a violation of personal boundaries. I like to open a dialogue and accept the point of view of those who enter this dialogue with me. I take plots, events and symbols that make the viewer want to find answers within themselves. But I do not leave my own thoughts on the canvas. Asking a question and letting the viewer hear his own answer is the main goal of my work. One of the means to achieve this goal is beauty. In front of a beauty, a person fully opens up and is able to hear his true voice, without fear and influence from the outside.
