My artistic world is a reflection on the primal nature of humanity. Immersing myself in the study of Slavic folklore and the research of fairy tales by scholars, I came to understand that the similarity of plots around the world is nothing more than evidence of a common origin preserved through millennia. I aim to express in my work that the division of people into races, nations, and religions does not negate the unified cultural and ethical roots within us.

My hero is an allegory of fiery youth and the ever-rebellious spirit undergoing the catharsis of the soul. I view fairy tale characters as performers of certain functions, guiding the viewer, like the main hero, along the path of the rebirth of their "self." The vibrant red color I predominantly use symbolizes the pulsating energy and constant movement of the life stream that unites all existence.

The vyaz, the textual ornament woven into the compositions, is the mythologeme of Russian fairy tales. Through it, I want to bring the viewer closer to deciphering the subtext hidden in folklore, reflecting an ancient understanding of the world order and the wisdom embedded in ritual culture, both in our culture and around the world.

My medium is the plane, within which I create the illusion of a fragment of mythical space. Working with oil on canvas, I adhere to a rich color palette. In graphics, I use line and spot, whether in engraving or digital art.
