Art is that spot of trampled grass on a warrior camp. When you look at it, you know for sure that there was love, there was power...
Traditionally this section of the site should include the artist's background, relevant academic experience, and a list of art shows and exhibitions.
My case is unique in that I am not a painter, but rather a mystic. Many years ago I discovered within myself an unusual psychic ability. I found that I could influence the material media and form it into gestalts. I was fascinated and absorbed by this discovery, as this is a highly unusual experience that always brings unexpected results. As you study my works, you will notice that they are all assembled integrally: they are blocks, castings, and worlds.
In creating art, I do not employ techniques, tricks, or habits. I never practice, as practicing is aimed at developing a habit. I never imagine, either, as imagination is a product of memory. Instead, my work is a dance. It is a free play, where I dance in the present with no reflection of the past. It is like automatic drawing. In my case, the Spirit offers and intensifies the shapes. My spontaneous actions bear energy that gets crystallized in the material miraculously and mysteriously. My goal is not to interfere with that process. Since the artistic result is what's important to me, in my work I partially control such aspects of the fine art as balance, intensity, interest, composition. If you ask me how I achieve all that, I'll tell you I don't know. I only learned to slide to the state that allows it happen. In that state, I can work anywise - whether with hands or my feet. You can see it on videos.
This web site gallery includes a collection of works that I chose to most clearly portray my experience as an artist. I recently began video recording the process of creating my works, and the pieces for which this video is available are placed on YouTube.
I was born in Russia and now live in New York.
As an artist, I am constantly searching for opportunities to display my work and generally gain wider exposure, so all serious offers from art dealers, sponsors and such are welcome.
