Dialogue

The virtual world is like cold monochrome glass where we are shattered into million pieces of avatars, so our identity is unidentified and blurred.

Color is like a contact, like a bond and transition to the physical word for communication.

The Music of Color

Music affects the unconscious of an artist in an almost magical way – and sounds transforms into colors. Music can generate a unique state of creative trance, when new images are born.

Rapture

Based on the story “The Snow Queen” by H. C. Andersen. I was interested in experimenting with the contrast between the theme and the style, finding among traditional fairy-tale motifs those topical to this day.

The New Programme

2003

In the modern culture the image of a punk is close to the image of a Jester (or a trickster). He is free from any hierarchy and rules and doesn’t conform to the norms of society.

In my creation I’m depicting a circus arena, where characters of jesters-punks with the portrait of Sid Vicious (as an avatar of the very concept of a Punk) in the center are creating a surreal mystery.

The Lady of the Wood

Based on the story “Snail on the Slope” by A. and B. Strugatsky. The heroines of the story manage a bio civilization where magic takes place of a technological progress.

Evolution

2008

Lacquer painting on the box for the university diploma.

Let’s imagine that continued evolution will give some people new abilities. How will they feel in a society that won’t have reached their level of development yet? Will they feel more lonely and separated from the dearest? The idea of this work appeared after reading the novel “The Waves Extinguish The Wind”(“The Time Wanderers”) by A. and B. Strugatsky. The main hero can travel in the space without a spaceship, but he has lost all connections with his family.

The Bluebird

To grasp one’s luck, one is to escape from the cage of fears and doubts. Digital painting.
