About The Artwork

The artwork reflects my initial impressions of the stagnant and deteriorating state of the society I was part of at the time. The decaying architecture, despite its former grandeur, no longer fulfills its initial purpose. The child is intentionally disproportionate to the surroundings, his figure contrasting sharply, indicating he doesn't belong. He symbolizes the anticipation of a future titan, a beacon of hope amid the ruins. This prospective hero, yet to exist, remains undefined - his shape, the deliverance he might bring, and even his existence are all uncertain. Nevertheless, my heart and mind ardently await his arrival, seeing no vitality in the desolation that currently surrounds me. The child stands as an undeniable beacon of positivity, casting light and carrying a lifebuoy like a halo - a potent symbol of hope. Remarkably, I completed this artwork before the war in Ukraine commenced. I never imagined such a disaster could occur. But clearly, at some level deep within my soul, I sensed it.

The beginning of everything is sensation. Pure, uncluttered feeling allows you to ask yourself the right questions, which are fundamental to my art. My eyes see reality, my thoughts shape experience, and my heart is like a compass directing my attention. Drawing is my method of experiencing the world. Pencil and paper enable me to be alone with the world, to converse with it, and to strive to understand it. Drawings, sketches, and drafts become a form of dialogue. On paper, I capture various images from real life that aid me in my subsequent work with canvas and oil, where disparate and contrasting elements converge. For me, this is a quest for the true essence of the world, beyond its three-dimensional space. From my very first picture, I attempted to unravel the complexities of reality. I pondered: Who am I, and who are these people around me? Answering such questions requires understanding the context. Through the prism of my work, I perceived not only people but also the world they inhabit. This environment was a product shaped by society, while simultaneously shaping the social world itself.
