My inspiration is streets of the cities. Each new place is speaking its own visual language keeping connection with the world. Cities create different abstract pictures with the help of fragments of posters, graffiti, contrast of color, textures of buildings and walls, and great quantity of signboards written in different languages with its own shapes of letters and characters. While time is creating composition, colors and accents, city becomes an exhibition we live in. You just need to look around you and catch something special in something unobvious to stay in touch with the world.

Despite the fact that all the world is in quarantine now, I stay in touch with the planet with the help of my works made from pieces of textures of the cities I’ve ever been in.

I still am

It’s so hard to accept current reality. To understand and realize all what’s happening right now. You might think that everything will be back in its place as soon as you will see “the end” on the movie screen. And if to go out from this theater there will be ordinary life outside. But the thing is, it’s not another blockbuster — it’s our life and we are part of it. Swallowing up all our planet, virus is speaking all world languages. No matter is it Chinese, Italian, Spanish, English, Russian, etc. Each city is listening it while becoming silent by itself.

The virus speaking all world languages. 

Travelling is my way to create. There are labyrinths of still unfamiliar streets, fragments of posters and phrases which are overheard so accidentally; graffiti, contrast of color, textures, buildings and walls, and a great quantity of languages with it’s own shapes of letters and characters... 

All of it creates an elusive and abstract picture captured by time. And after all each new city being a simple point of location turns into spontaneous and ever-changing vibes.

This is what really inspires me to create my collages. With the help of my works I would love to help everyone to see the real piece of art in the daily life routine. You just need to look around you and catch something special in something unobvious. And being able to do it, any city will become awesome exposition while you will be its creator. That’s why any fragment of my posters is just like historical picture made by time with its own composition, color and accents.
