A Girl In A Turban

I explore the ephemerality of our current existence. Despite of the fact that we are in material space, our life is increasingly flowing into the net. The possibilities of modern technologies allow you to
transfer most of your time into the nets of electronic devices, leaving real life outside of it. Thus, a person begins to live more and more not in the real world, but in the world of information phantoms.
In my paintings, I try to fix a person in the materials space. My characters perform intelligible, tangible actions within recognizable physical objects. I portray an ideal world where everything is in its place."

 

I often turn to the theme of childhood. After all, childhood is the beginning of a person, the basis of his relationship with the outside world. By placing an object in canvas space, I show the situation or stage that the person is going through. That is, the picture is like a portal through which the viewer can look back, plunge into their memories or suggest some events in the future.

When we are not sure about the future, not sure about the next steps, we want to find a source of knowledge that can give back our confidence in our future well-being. Good if that is a news channel,
but things like a magician, crystal ball, coffee grounds, black birds feathers will also settle. If only they can return the feeling of solid ground under your feet.
