Artist’s Statement

“Time is the moving image of eternity”. Platon.

New style - Romantic Expressionism

Art Revolution happened 100 years ago and is dead now.
Un-figurative Art is exhausted and repeating itself, it stopped to develop.
Back to figurative Art forms with unlimited possibilities.
Back from the flat “paper-thin” Art to deep dimensional, with Light and Shadow forms traveling in Time.
Major Art laws have never changed - composition, balance, proportions, color, harmony, time and space - shall always be present.
Art is form of energy which spreads through The Universe.
Artist is connected to The Universal Art Energy and reveals its presence through the Artist’s inspiration and subconscious.
We are traveling in Time from The Past to The Future, through The Present, back and forth.
Time in The Art Energy does not have any direction -The Past, The Present and
The Future could exist together.
We believe that Artist shall have an academic background and training in the same way as a good classical musician does.
We believe in use of natural materials which could age and become more beautiful with time, while the artificial ones will disintegrate.

Back to Light - Shadow, Time - Space!
Back to The Past and To The Future!
Back to The Art Energy of Universe!

Romantic Expressionism (RE).
Romantic Expressionism is a complex way of combining some characteristics of impressionism, surrealism and traditions of the "Old Masters".
There is a desire to penetrate into the mysteries of the Universe, and attempt to depict such abstract notions as multidimensional space, to reflect on the idea of time - from the Past, through the Present, to the Future; to show existing and non-existing; to connect to the Art Energy of the Universe; to exist in many Parallel Worlds at the same time.
