the humanity must save the stars in the sky, the flowers under the sun, the fire in the hearts, as well as painfully sharp sins and repetitive patterns of our history documented in art…
Over the town
Marc Chagall
Oil on canvas
1918
450 x 560 mm
A love story painted by Marc Chagall. That is how love really feels: flying… They fly. He holds Her but she offers the direction, he looks up and back, she looks down and forward. They are such a man and such a woman for each other in that. Is she concerned about the future, and the place, their home, and where they are going next? Is he concerned about the past, that formed him, the past that formed them both, does he understand that all?
And they fly together above Vitebsk or any other little town or a big city. The fly not because they want to have a better view, they fly because they fly.
But at the same time they do see. If they were standing on the ground: there at the fence, lonely but safe, warmly wrapped like that little person hardly visible on the left, they would have been as small, as cold and as lonely and they would have only seen the black fence and the white snow…
But they fly instead, fearless, careless, crazy but so lucky, so very lucky two people…
For a new painting, I explore fabric patterns, motifs.
It is about clothes, which draw lines. The simple strings of fabric which become bonds, that keep us together, tie us, link, hold. The repetitive patterns we chose can be bright, incredibly beautiful, can be the cause of it own… My inspiration was Dolce Gabbana bright beautiful, colourful, festive fabrics. I want bonds on my painting to be as beautiful as they can be for my characters, because of both: because I wan them to be surrounded by beauty and the more attractive they are the harder it is for them to tear them. They become Such a value actually that sometimes we shape ourselves according to these stripes of fabrics.
Looking, touching, exploring these Dolce Gabbana colours, textures, meaningful patters, that are stories themselves is an incredibly pleasant process. It does really correspond with life itself with a life we want for ourselves: beautiful, colourful, fashionable and very very bright. The complicated, multicoloured, mesmerising motifs they confuse us, make us believe that they are the prettiest, the most desirable and the most important things in the whole world… until we meet true treasure: love…
We know what happens then, we want to remove all the barriers between us, to tear all the bonds that hold us from reaching each other, no matter how beautiful colourful and bright they are… We may even become so brave and fearless and so very crazy that we tear our ties, break free and give ourself to each other…
See.
(Window.)
Acrylic on canvas
400mm X 400mm
The See. painting is an exploration of what it is like to be together, together in the room, together at home, looking to the Outside world from the Inside. It is also the thoughts about seeing through the blinds, outside boundaries, thoughts about moving them, removing them. See. in a way is a window between here and there, inside and outside, past and future, shuttered But slightly revealed. It is about what we see when we look together.

Party drinks exploration.
What are they? happy? really happy? How do they look from the outside? How do they feel from the inside?
The experiment was held on 3 wines: champaign, bubbly and red. Two people, a little food, lots of talks. Lots of music, lots of dancing. And how it looked from the outside, how it looked in wasn’t the same as how it felt.
Three wines: bubbly, bubbly and red.
Two points of view: face – the glass is raised high up, festive, celebrating; and profile -hiding behind the glass, feeling slightly down, a little sad and quite lonely.
Peak
digital
Peak was started as a digital artwork, now I’m working on the stencil for it.
‘The Shard is the tallest building in Western Europe, its crystalline façade transforming the London skyline with a multi-use 310 m (1,016 ft) vertical city of high-quality offices, world-renowned restaurants, the 5-star Shangri-La hotel, exclusive residential apartments and the capital’s highest viewing gallery, The View from The Shard, offering 360° views. The Shard is a timeless reminder of the power of imagination to inspire change.’
Peak is an exploration of height, of bringing each other up, about peaks as well, emotional, physical, peaks in feelings, peaks in lifes. What is it like to be above the rest of the world? What is it like to balance on the peak that heigh up? Dangerous, exciting? Yes, there is that and also dependence and also trust – complete trust, you can’t manage without it that height up.
