"The Family", series "Earthquake" Painting

We are the Pavlovsky family: mathematically trained metal designer Alexander, artist and art historian (as well as poet and journalist) Nikita/Onda, and graphic designer and illustrator Anastasia. Dad, son and mom. We decided to work as a group in January 2020. We like to discuss and compare ideas, we are interested in creating contact with each other! We have a background of different creative specialties and we believe that this difference, if well understood, gives an interesting and unique result. We create paintings, panels and objects at the intersection of art and craft design entirely by hand. We are close to the concept of mutual creativity of man, nature and time. Therefore, we usually use materials with a history: old industrial metal, recycled quartz and glass, old wood. We strive to preserve and reveal the beauty of materials with traces of time.. We are trying to combine formal and conceptual elements, the connection between philosophy and technique/material is important to us. Our works "slow down" the viewer, giving him the necessary pause for reflection and sensory perception. This interweaving of meaning and feeling is our way of communicating with the viewer. We talk about the problems of the modern world in the language of handicraft technologies and handwork. Since the spring of 2022 we have been living in Italy, in Abruzzo, which we have known and loved for many years and here we create our works.
