About The Artwork

Sometimes I feel a great desire to practice my classical Russian painting training. Paying homage to well-known artists and reinterpreting their works is the way I have chosen to do this. This is not a new path, many artists work in this direction in their own way, and it is all the more interesting to see where these dialogs with the classics lead. In this case, the painting is "Bathing of a Red Horse" by the Russian artist Petrov-Vodkin from 1912. This painting was one of the most famous in the Soviet art world. Not least thanks to the red color of the horse. This visual series greatly impressed the ideologists of the Soviet Union: Red Horse, Young People, Renewal and Energy. As a person who grew up in the Soviet Union, I was very impressed by the red color, and later, when I was already living in Germany and looked at the picture, I immediately thought: the horse must be painted over! What color? Blue, of course! And now everything makes sense: the boy scolds and washes his blue horse to make it red again. Acrylic paint on canvas.

For my artistic intentions, I try to explore cultural events and contexts, because this is the only way to gain a better understanding of the present and oneself in this modern world. Therefore, together with other important topics, the relationship with my country will forever remain important to me. I often use self-expression bring my artistic ideas to life. Important components in my art are playfulness, ambiguity, irony and hidden humor. The tendency to haptic, sensual perception, the use of found objects and unusual materials stimulates my imagination and characterizes my works. Für meine künstlerischen Intensionen versuche ich, geschichtliche, kulturelle Ereignisse und Zu-sammenhänge zu erkunden, weil man nur so die Gegenwart und sich selbst in der modernen Welt besser verstehen kann. Deswegen, zusammen mit anderen wichtigen Themen, wird mir die Beziehung zur meinem Her-kunftsland auch immer wichtig bleiben. Die Selbstdarstellung verwende ich oft, um meine künstlerischen Ideen zu verwirklichen. Wichtige Komponenten für meine Kunst sind spielerischer Art, Doppelsinnigkeit, Ironie und versteckter Humor. Die Neigung zu haptischer, sinnlicher Wahrneh-mung, Benutzung von Fundstücken und unge-wöhnlichen Materialien regen meine Fantasie an und zeichnen meine Werke aus.
