Kropin Mikhail
Born in 1998.
Practising architect-designer.
The author's artistic journey began in 2021 with the transfer of his ideas and thoughts onto canvas. But the desire to create was long before that moment. The first experience of presenting works for public viewing was at a contemporary art fair at the Winzavod site. Feedback from visitors and fellow artists gave confidence, and the impetus to continue this endeavour. The type of art in which the artist works is painting, in the direction of conceptualism.

"All my experiences and the influences of the surrounding world are woven together in my subconscious to create something unified. This is how my ideas for paintings are born. They are expressed by a worldview, scraps of thoughts containing experiences, irony, conjectures and rethinking of things that have arisen in the head for a moment but never leave it. This image, which appeared in the mind for seconds, acquires clearer features only on the canvas. It is a note, a sketch of a thought that impressed me. But they can be interpreted in different ways: twist, turn and turn, but what was originally there is already imprinted on the canvas as a monument. And even if it is not always rainbow-coloured, life is made up of different periods, and that is its beauty."
