MANIFEST
The manner of my painting is gathered from various sources and melted into my style by the will to a vivid, incredibly beautiful, luminous and enchanting statement.
I'll tell you what: art consists of old European and Asian knowledge, of modern American and Russian avant-garde and non-conformist, of the digital revolution and the new morality. But all of these things are very approximate when we "put" them on ourselves-they squeeze, prick, and squirm-while not exposing personality, but hiding individuality. No matter how good they are, they are the art of other people and other eras.
My painting is created from perfect colors and approximate strokes - and it is hypertrophied by the result, like metaphor, which in modern language has long since become clearer and more accessible than direct expression.
My manner is composed of the style of late Michelangelo's pencil drawings and Taoist calligraphy, of Zverev's Tashism, the straightforwardness of Vrubel and Plavinsky, and much more. From the contemplation of the play of light on the neighboring tree. From the bottomless color of the eyes of the outstanding dancer Albina. From any other person, when he is inspired by an amazing idea or in love to the point of insanity.
My art was born in the era of the "New Foundations" as they call the 00's in the philosophical school in Paris.
Now I am based on the aesthetics of the Six Hormones, the Six Famous Hormones of Happiness, whose names, like the Seven Sins, no one really remembers.
I spent twenty years looking for a definition for my style of painting, and finally accepted that nobody knew anything about Taoist parables or hormones, simply calling my art expressionism. The word is familiar, European, museum-like, and therefore understandable.
A famous music critic, who agreed to help me analyze my style, called this art co-existence, since it appears in painting precisely so that it can be not only "achieved" through long contemplation, study, feeling and thinking, but can be shared. To give it as a flower, as a word, or as an impression.
