Light Fire Dreams Burn Painting

In my practice, I work with the theme of Time. I investigate the feeling of how time is going through, how something changes over time, how humans interact with this invisible object. Time as air is so common thing in our life, that we even don’t notice it before it getting not enough. I want to make people perceive the time through visuals, physical objects and interaction. I’m developing the idea of the time as a tangible object and trying to catch that feeling of uncertainty about the future. I born in the USSR – the country that is no longer exists. And grew up in an independent Ukraine. At the moment of the disintegration of the USSR, I was 7. For the boy of my age, it was unnoticed that one country has gone forever and something changed. Completely different it was for my parents, who felt all out this impact of a new reality. In Ukraine, everything around reminds of a past era that has gone. Abandoned buildings that have lost their purpose – symbols of a bygone era. Confused people that lost their faith. Lost in time. We live in a time of constant accelerated changes, that make the future undetermined. My art is an attempt to capture the vague state of the world and uncertainty about the future.
