About The Artwork

The Cultural Layer Project is my endeavor to dissect not just our environment and society, but also the temporal landscape we inhabit. "Prometheus," created in 2021, is a forewarning of irreversible processes unfolding in Russia during that period. The palpable anticipation of an unidentifiable yet looming catastrophe weighed heavily on me. While I couldn't pinpoint the source of my anxiety then, I regretfully affirmed its accuracy now. Prometheus, one of the Titans, holds a significant place in this project. He stands apart from his contemporary events, representing the imminent future. His valuable cargo, regardless of its worth, is incapable of restoring the decay surrounding him. Prometheus and the architecture exist on different temporal planes, unable to influence one another. His cargo, symbolizing hope, stands impotent against the encroaching darkness of a dying world. Prometheus was exhibited on my solo show «Cultural Layer» in 2022 Museum of Architecture, Moscow Available in London in October 2023.

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.
