Live and work in Moscow

ARTIST STATEMENT

I see the world as a paradoxical coexistence of matter and spirit, and all of my works is primarily about this. Man is a unique essence : omnipotent, developing, capable of creating, and at the same time is a fragile flesh, impermanent, dependent on hedonistic impulses. In this dualism is hidden the impossible and at the same time natural harmony, which is possible to realize and accept only through the game. My creativity PERMITS, removes barriers and says “It is possible!” (to try, to experiment, to seek and not be afraid). The game puts in the position of the observer, helps to see the picture comprehensively, remove contradictions and find a way to move on.
