About

I believe in sensible universe and non-randomness of what is taking place. I subtly feel the invisible connections between all living and inanimate beings, between the past and what hasn’t happened yet. This is my starting point, my anchor and foothold. This is what I want to talk about. All around is a continuous connection of everything with everyone. The external picture is just a shell of what’s really going on. The world doesn’t start anywhere and ends nowhere, it is cyclical and interdependent. I feel it as a living organism, where everyone is indispensable. What I think about affects what happens around. I’m a co-creator, just like you. I try to catch and convey these connections by organizing them visually. My favorite tools are absurdity and play, something that knocks out of the usual linear forms. I feel like a conductor from the cosmic to the human symbols. And I’m trying to find answers to the question: “How to remember about the ordinary day magic, being absorbed in routine and everyday life?”

Я верю в разумную вселенную и неслучайность происходящего. Я тонко чувствую невидимые связи между всеми живыми и неживыми существами, событиями, между прошлым и тем, что ещё не произошло. Это моя отправная точка, мой якорь, моя опора. Это то, о чём я хочу говорить. Всё вокруг бесконечность и безграничность. Это неразрывная и непрерывная связь всего со всем. Внешняя картинка – лишь оболочка происходящего. Мир нигде не начинается и нигде не заканчивается, он цикличен и взаимозависим. Я ощущаю его, как единый живой организм, где каждый важен. То, о чём я думаю влияет на то, что происходит вокруг. Я сотворец, как и ты. Эти связи я стараюсь поймать и передать, упорядочивая их визуально. Мои любимые инструменты – это абсурдность и игра, что-то, что выбивает из привычных линейных форм. Я ощущаю себя проводником с космического на человеческие символы и пытаюсь найти ответы на вопрос «Как помнить о волшебстве серого  дня, будучи поглощенным рутиной и бытом?»
