The use of handcrafted techniques, visual simplicity, and natural materials adds a unique sensory experience to each object. Minimalist design and sculptural forms go beyond traditional images and structures. The concept's meaning is free and has a wide range of associations. The objects combine the natural and symbolic, the sensual and the conceptual, which are essential components of contemporary art and design.

«A new door to art begins with a new search for the boundaries of this garden. Her vision happens approximately the way Vernadsky saw his biosphere. It is necessary to create your own language, your own method for going abroad. For example, the language of perspective: Egypt depicted landscapes in the form of diagrams and maps. The linear begins with Giotto. Rauschenbach and his followers began analyzing the prospects of individual masters. And he came to the conclusion that everyone has their own vision of space. That is, the garden opens up to everyone in their own way."

— Mikhail Krunov, artist

An artist, a representative of the generation that replaced the nonconformist sixties. Graduated from the Art and Graphic Faculty of the Pedagogical Institute in Moscow (1984). He was a student of Alexei Kamensky (1927-2014) and Yuri Zlotnikov (1930-2016). He has been exhibiting since 1979 in Russia, Europe, America, India, and China.

In the 1980s, he began working professionally with a palette of smoky gray and white shades in the genre of landscape, developing the ideas of escapism and minimalism in painting. The landscape in Krunov's vision acquires signs of generalization with horizontal hills, parks, and perspectives. At this time, the artist develops a technique of multi-layered painting and seeks to shade the boundaries of the image and paste in the structures of the strokes. From the point of view of the emotional, sensual, and content of the artist's paintings during this period, he was fascinated by the transmission of thoughtful moods and the effect of meditative practices of Indian yoga.

In the 1990s, Krunov worked, forming his sacred symbolic palette based on the scientific ideas of V.I. Vernadsky and N.V. Fedorov. He paints images of human figures and birds, this series of works was presented by the artist in the Italian city of Padua. Since 1996, Krunov has been a member of the presidium of the Russian-Indian Friendship Society, founded by the indologist and writer A.N. Senkevich. The main areas of work are the organization of artistic, literary projects and expeditions in Russia, India, and France.

The Key Exhibition (1989) The artist considers a personal project at the Biological research center in Pushchino on the Oka River, where communication with major Russian biologists influenced his creative worldview and became the beginning of a new geometric series of works, The Genetic Code. In the 2000s, Krunov's artistic method was an analog abstract painting in the classical medium of oil on canvas.

In the 2000s, the artist's conceptual doctrine was shaped by the Vedic idea of Kalpa cycles, a system of calculating time in the universe. Influenced by the practice of yoga and Eastern philosophy, the artist begins the Kalpa Cycle project, in which he paints a visualization of the cyclical movement of time. At the same time, color compositions in painting are shown as vast epochs: the Golden Age, the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age (Kali Yuga, 432,000 years) of human existence.

From the point of view of art criticism, in 2025, the artist exists as part of the science art tradition. Close figures include Vyacheslav Koleychuk (1941-2018), Francisco Infante (1943), Alexander Pankin (1938-2020), Mikhail Chernyshov (1945). Since 2020, together with curator Alexander Korytov, he has been working to popularize the concepts of Russian cosmism, discoveries in the field of particle physics and new materials.

Russian Russian art From 2000 to 2020, Krunov has been working with Russian art in the European and Russian markets as the art director of Nadya Brykina galley in Zurich and Moscow. As a result of the gallery's work, a galaxy of important Russian nonconformist artists from the 60s and 70s became famous and collected among European collectors.

In the 2020s, Nadia Brytkina Galleries (Zurich), the Museum of Nonconformism (Moscow), the ULM Gallery (Moscow), the Prometeus Foundation (Moscow), the JART Gallery (Moscow), the a-s—t—r—a Gallery (Moscow) are working with the artist.
