The strongest critics and teachers, Dags’ grandfather and great-grandfather played the organ and conducted choirs. Mother – cultural scientist, father – Opera Theater director, poet. Sister is a film director, cousin teaches art and her husband is the rector of the Academy of Arts. Dags studied at the Academy of Arts twice: both in the Department of Conceptual Painting and in the Faculty of Art Theory and Pedagogy

DIALOGUE
In search of their artistic authenticity, the combination of methods created their own technology, the main task of intellectual creation is to use the language of art to defend the socially discriminated sections of society. As the formations of civilisation change, so does the message and style of Dags’ art. The primary mission is to provoke the viewer into dialogue through catharsis. Words as a medium of communication have devalued due to lies in the public sphere, so the paintings are thought through for a long time by making countless sketches until they manage to incorporate a socially active message into the language of art. Dags’ creative method is a counterpoint to trying to make the viewer think by contrasting several symbolically structured layers of society’s subcultures in the form of a triptych. Dividing reality into humanity, civilization, urban environment, virtual reality and nature. However, technical virtuosity and experience allow the paintings to be executed in an “alla prima” method, which preserves the liveliness of the line and the ease of predicting the stroke of the brush stroke. Structuring anthropomorphic forms in abstract large-format compositions requires knowledge of anatomy by modulating shapes, experience in drawing, and the ability to collect large-format paintings in symphonies of dramatic laws that have been tested for centuries. Using transfigurative lines, build your own consciously structured canvas reality. The guiding principle is to try to find a new expression for painting as a medium. In the age of technocracy, compete with mobile technology media. It took many years and 1,000 drawings to learn to sketch figures from nature in order to be able to create compositions of anthropomorphic forms freely. Exhibiting large-format paintings in the counterpoint method in triptychs with current contemporary messages, achieving interactivity with the audience. The primary mission of Dags’ Art is to inspire the viewer to a conversation, to inspire love through the exchange
