Death Of a Hero
Series. Markers, crayons, watercolor on cardboard.
This project was started after a few death of close friends of my family a close relative and Alexei Navalny. What should we do when hero’s dead? Unite. We should start rely on community, on each other. There’re no heroes in this series of drawings and paintings. All shapes are in connection with each other no matter of the color, power and size.
Relationships With Light
Series. Acrylic, translucent foam, light.
I experiment with foam board, drawing on both sides and backlighting it to reveal a layered relationship between past and present, friendship, and the self. This dual-sided exploration creates a dynamic visual experience that challenges the viewer to see from multiple perspectives simultaneously.
Somewhere Over a Rainbow
Series. Markers, crayons on cardboard.
In Somewhere Over the Rainbow, a black-and-white series, he sublimates his broken heart into landscapes with emotions born in darkness, symbolizing a journey toward the light, from which color later emerges in his subsequent project. From the first work to the last, one can observe the healing process as color comes into Death of a Hero, where the landscapes serve as a refuge from grief.
Flags of Life
Series. Markers on cardboard.
I’ve started to draw flags as my own therapy when the war started. “Flags of Destinies” visualizes human lives as multi-striped flags, each stripe representing an emotional stage or life event, with colors corresponding to specific feelings. This symbolic representation of life's complexity ties into my broader theme of improvisation and emotional expression.
