Exploring the Unconscious Through Art

Born in Russia and residing on the idyllic island of Bali for many years, the artist delves into the depths of the unconscious, channeling its mysteries through surrealist drawings and abstract expressionist paintings. Each piece emerges as an uncharted journey, beginning with a single line on the canvas and evolving unpredictably, guided by the subconscious mind.

The artist's work is imbued with irony and a vibrant palette of bold, positive colors, shapes, and images. Rejecting the amplification of pain, sadness, and darkness that pervades much of the world, the artist instead seeks to evoke joy, provoke a smile, and inspire viewers to see the world through a transformed perspective.

Central to the artist’s vision are themes of psychology, mythology, religion, mysticism, culture, and travel. These universal concepts are rendered in the fluid and liberating styles of surrealism and abstraction, offering a space where the inexpressible finds form.
