Artist Profile
Born: 1998
Hometown: St. Petersburg
Based in: St. Petersburg
I was born in 1998 in St. Petersburg. Since childhood, I painted at an art school, then studied at an art gymnasium. After studying, as the winner of the All-Russian Olympiad for Schoolchildren in Art, at the age of 16, without exams, I entered the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design at the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts, where I mastered various techniques: mosaic, embroidery, stained glass windows, tapestries, processing stone, leather, wood, etc. I was a listener the Academy of Arts and, since 2020, a student at this educational institution. I often act as an expert at creative forums and festivals, and give many master classes among the creative youth of St. Petersburg. The theme of my works is closely related to the problem of personality self-identification, a person's place in society and his transformation in space and time from the past to today's tomorrow. Exploring the human component, I try to understand what drives people in a certain historical period: what tasks they set for themselves and how they solve them. A certain image of a hero of our time. Indeed, sometimes it takes courage to live in an era of change. In my research, I try on old images on modern people and get sensual portraits of my heroes. This research helps me to comprehend various characteristics of a person's personality, its spiritual component, and I invite viewers to find themselves in these images. Sometimes, portraits of contemporaries are very relevant to reflect the problems of society. This experiment leads to the intersection of different times and realities, where, in contrast to their manifestation, I try to show how the boundaries of time barriers are erased when entering the image. In my works, I try to liberate the modus of time in its earthly dimension. At the same time, the side of such a philosophical understanding leads to a harmonious balance between the manifest and the innermost.
