Concept

The inspiration for my work comes from area of my interests: the history of world religions, philosophy, mythology, and legends of different peoples, as well as the spiritual experience of a person passing through this life. I am interested in exploring how people understood this world in different epochs. After all, many spiritual experiences are universal and timeless. I study the histories and legends of the religious revival of the people that interest me and try to understand them, enriching my consciousness with new experiences and diverse perspectives. I study their symbols as the quintessence of meaning, how they intersect from nation to nation on the planet, because despite the fact that each person is unique, many phenomena and concepts, values and religions that he created are essentially one. It is these timeless values that I translate into my works. And I would like to convey to modern society so that my viewers see diversity but at the same time the unity of humanity. I work in symbolism, delving into the centuries and studying symbols, bringing them into my paintings in a modern interpretation. I work in the technique of the old masters, whose works I loved to study carefully from childhood, especially such artists as Caravaggio, Velazquez, Rembrandt, El Greco. Wanting to study everything in detail, I received an education in art history. Through my art, I want to preserve timeless spiritual values and wisdom, for this I move to the very roots, initial sources, both in a conceptual and technical sense.
