In my opinion, art is a “rabbit hole”, and artists are “Cheshire cats” in this Wonderland. I strive so that the paintings don't have a definite and obvious interpretation. My paintings is just a starting point to awake imagination of the Viewer, and to bring about incredible dreams and fantasies of yourself and the world from the subconscious.
Each painting begins with a tiny sketch of the idea. Anything can be an inspiration: a phrase from lyrics, a shot from a movie, a funny story, or a girl’s smile from a nearby subway car… The main thing is to catch this feeling or idea, and to convey it in the miniature sketch. Then, in the creative process, I collect all the images and associations into a single whole.
"As an artist, I perceive art as a space of absolute freedom to express myself. In each painting I strive to embody a surreal fantasy world where reality and imagination become a natural extension of each other.
In this space without the laws of logic and physics it becomes possible to realize any ideas, even the most incredible ones, through amusing and bizarre forms and symbols.
Awaken your imagination and become a wizard for a while! Follow me into this “rabbit hole” to figure out how far imagination can lead us."
