Ajouté le 25 déc. 2024

Passionate artist - self-taught, independently honing expressiveness and unique skill. Born in June 1984 in the Soviet Union.

 At a young age, he dropped out three times at an art school due to restlessness, and then dropped out of a medical college and biochemical and medical faculty of universities due to lack of time when combining studies in several places and night work. Nevertheless, with honors graduated from college and several other universities and defended as a psychologist, economist, lawyer and mechanical engineer. From the professor and the author of serious work to a media artist from newspapers and television, from a poet and writer to a recognized expert on mysticism, the passion to create new art objects has always been in his heart and led him through life. For several years, combining free work as a psychoanalyst, creating a round-the-clock hotline and helping women and children - victims of violent crimes, he simultaneously developed and worked art in the direction of jewelry, sculptures, bone, metal, impregnated with experience in this area.
In parallel with a deep show of wave genetics, geometry and chemistry, he gains experience in field geology and is involved in ancient art. Antiquity from childhood carried him away. Since he, as a child, received from old teachers an unconventional and deep education in history, chemistry and biology. This was the very knowledge from the wells of wisdom, abundantly dusted with hundred-year-old velvet dust. Reading the forbidden scientific literature from an early age, he was insanely uninteresting to study in general educational schools, and replacing one after another, he ended up in the International Gymnasium of the Red Cross Society, in a small group for gifted children. By the way, despite his high achievements in his studies, he was expelled from the gymnasium for frequent fights and generally not social behavior. Studying at the gymnasium, the boy simultaneously entered the medical institute as an external student, and during his school years he graduated from two full courses with adult students spending nights on practice in morgues and anatomical museum.

 But he did not eventually choose the medical field because of difficult life circumstances at that time. But, having received a state certificate giving the right to start training without entrance exams and with an automatic higher score in chemistry, physics, biology, literature and history at any university in the country. He achieved a lot in Russia.
Many influential people from Europe and Asia came to talk with him about their business or ask for advice in solving difficulties. Arts created by him in parallel flew through private collections around the world. Everything went quickly building up the pace and at one moment he became the object of hunting persecution within his country. He was abducted and tried to eliminate many times.

Once, after the abduction, he sat in a damp basement for a long 19 months, enduring regular torture. On one of those hungry and cold days, God's messenger Michael appeared to him and took him to God.
After this meeting, face to face and returning to the body, God returned him much of the previously inaccessible and helped him get out of prison. There was a shootout among the abductors and a big fire occurred, as a result of which they managed to escape from the dungeon. He returned to Moscow, and lived there for several more years. Changed the name and surname. But after a while he was again found and a new hunting season began. After another unsuccessful attempt at the abduction, he, without waiting for an epic ending, was forced to distribute all his acquired property, burned his labors and left the country without looking back. He took a train ticket and after a train chase jumped out of a train car near a Lithuanian village, powdered with January snow.

Then he lived in Poland, Italy, Sri Lanka, Austria, and accidentally ended up in France. In 2020, after a conversation with God “On the nature of gray color”, he is inspired and an avalanche of un realized creative potential breaks into his boring life in exile. He literally bit by bit starts all over again. Sculptures made of stone created houses in the kitchen did not pacify, but only ignited his passion. Because of the infringed situation, without a workshop and tools for buying tools, he is looking for other creative ways of implementation.

In 2022, for the first time in two decades, he picks up children's pencils, then brushes and acrylic. In January 2024, he accidentally tried oil and canvas. With each new painting created, creating days and nights, he creates new works using an intuitive selection of colors.
After close encounters with high matters, after meeting with God, his sister and his children, after touching death and traveling to other dimensions, his eyes now ceased to see colors and shapes as they had seen before. Depth appeared and the perception of feelings intensified, sound accompaniment of each color appeared.

 Listening and remembering the symphonies of life from other dimensions, he brings this to his art, singing and synchronizing with the eternal in the process of this sacred action.
Art, where Color is a Sound, and Sound is the Threads of Destiny woven from Light...
