About The Artwork

Behold the sculpture before you, a whimsical reinterpretation of the heroic figures from ancient Rome. In this playful homage, the classical torso of a man, reminiscent of the revered imperators and triumfators of old, stands proudly atop its pedestal. Cast in the enduring medium of plastic, this sculpture transcends time, offering a contemporary twist on classical aesthetics. The chiseled physique of the figure exudes strength and power, evoking the noble spirit of ancient heroes who strode confidently across the pages of history. Yet, upon closer inspection, a delightful surprise awaits. Instead of the customary armories adorning the muscular form, delicate lace cascades gracefully, draping the torso in an unexpected juxtaposition of strength and delicacy. This whimsical touch adds a sense of lightness and whimsy to the composition, inviting viewers to reconsider their preconceptions of masculinity and heroism. As you gaze upon this triumph of artistry and imagination, allow yourself to be transported to a world where tradition meets innovation, and where the boundaries between past and present blur in a harmonious dance of creativity. It is a world where even the mightiest of heroes can embrace the beauty of vulnerability, and where strength is found not only in muscle and might, but also in the gentle embrace of lace.

I am a London-based visual artist who is deeply inspired by the Baroque epoch and its parallels with the contemporary moment. As a child born during the Chernobyl Disaster, I have always been fascinated by the quest for immortality through science and art, and the vulnerability and strength of the body. My background in Baroque painting and theatre design has heavily influenced my contemporary art practices, allowing me to create bold and punkish works that are not afraid to tackle contemporary issues. My aim is to make painting popular again, just like it was in the Baroque times, creating works that leave a lasting impression and provide catharsis. Drawing inspiration from fashion icons like Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, I seek to push the boundaries of painting and make it a relevant and contemporary art form. I am an active participant in the London art scene, with my most recent exhibition being a solo show at Hampstead Art School in April 2023. I am constantly seeking to challenge myself and push the boundaries of what is possible with painting, and I hope to continue to do so for many years to come.
