Doeshvili Kirill
Born on June 29, 1988 in St. Petersburg.
Studied art, philosophy, poetry and literature, as a free-lance student attended courses at the Repin Academy. Repin. Studied at the Yalta Art School. Participant of Russian and international exhibitions and residencies. Doeshvili's works are in private collections in Russia, Ukraine, USA, Australia, England, Germany, Czech Republic. Since 2022 he has been living and working in Moscow.
Kirill sees his art through the eye, which does not obey the man-made laws of perspective, striving to cognize each object through the adventure of perception. Drawing itself turns for him into an interlocutor or a stranger, with whom he begins to juggle images. Each work is a new situation in which events unfold dynamically, but all of them are simultaneously connected by a common logic and characters: Treschak the Unpunished, the Friendly Pirate, the Strolling Apollo, the Unscientific Chatterbox. There is no bad or good among them. They are all embraced by the flame of love, but don't know how to express it properly. Just like us.

"An instinctive Faith in the art form, a symbiosis of inner and outer journeys, signs on the way to advancement in art. Without thinking that death is near, I am constantly trying to comprehend the emptiness of all forms that distort and reshape, have their own magnitude and even a formal notion of time. When one painstakingly draws or writes, one has two types of signs of progress along the path - definite and indefinite - which show that the result will soon be achieved. The indefinite signs, called basic signs, appear due to previous connections, even if the person has never practiced art at all . Since they cannot be relied upon, I will not describe them here. Definite marks appear as a result of drawing and are of two kinds: transitory and immutable. Transient signs may appear either in reality or in mood. As for the first kind, when you are making preliminary sketches, you may feel as if your body is about to collapse like the walls of a cracking house. Your voice may weaken, as in a state of extreme exhaustion. You may begin to convulse like you are possessed by spirits. These are indicators that you have separated reality and the world of images. Frustration with your own body, speech, and mind may appear in the mood. This demonstrates that you have purified yourself . If these states do not appear, it means that you have not gained enough experience, so you must continue to immerse yourself in the form."
