Chameleon (2023) Pittura da Dmitrii Filimonov

I was born in Russia, in a small village in the Ulyanovsk region. At a young age I lost my parents and was brought up by my older sister. From the age of 14 I started to live independently. After finishing 9 grades of high school I moved to the city of Ulyanovsk, Russia and entered the College of Culture where I studied landscape design. In 2016, I moved to Moscow, Russia and entered the Moscow State Academy of Fine Arts named after S.G. Stroganov.
In my art I address the content of personality and self-identification. The main medium is painting. I also do graphics and ceramics (a series of "Beasts").
My paintings are bright and three-dimensional, often using pure colors. I am very inspired by fashion, aesthetics of circus, clowns, camp and anime. Therefore my work is theatrical and grotesque. But at the same time melancholic and modest, although the multicolors and variety of forms may at first tell the viewer otherwise.
My art is completely personified. It is about my inner world, self-reflection, the desire to find myself through the study of my own unconscious, my desires and values. It is a way to escape from the incomprehensible and chaotic reality, to create my own universe inhabited by bizarre beasts and anthropomorphic characters.
