LIFE IS NOT A STYLE.
Symbol corresponds to the visual arts closer than Allegory, Metaphor, and Myth. A visual image in its nature is Symbol rather than Allegory or Metaphor, which are closer to literature. The visual arts are always implicated with Symbol more or less. Since 1989 my art is called Postsymbolism. It is not just as Symbolism Art. Herein I am trying to express my romantic vision of the real world, both in the abstract and realisticly. My art is not narrative but it can touch us emotionally and mentally directly, as for instance ideas of happiness or sorrow, of light or darkness, etc. My symbolism is like when a person, being exiting with something in his/her soul, has seen the things around with other eyes. Even if the person doesn't know what is a reason of excitement, sometimes a cause is unknown and non-described in words, but the world around is changed a bit then. The paintings reflect symbolically the transformed worlds.
The arts related to Symbol did not create either schools or styles. Moreover, the arts arisen from depth of Symbol have escaped of freezing, or some of them have stopped to be symbolic arts in case of formation them into the certain styles. We may invent unlimited quantity of different names and styles, like Pop-art, Op-art, Flop-art, Slop-art, Stop-art, etc. And then some of my recent works could be qualified as “impression of abstract expressionism” or anyhow, but their symbolic identity remains independently of name.
A form of my painting is closer to Expressionism. But, the arts related to Symbol, and even all the arts probably, are similar to human because art cannot be used as a material or just servitor for something. It is also not peculiar to human to be a means. Human is always the purpose. The artist's personal hand and mind are always recognizable in each his/her work and it is not called a style. It is not correct to say: the Rembrandt-style, the Picasso-style, and then it would be wrong to tell about each of humans: “He/she has lived and died in the style of…” LIFE IS NOT A STYLE. An art is life. Life is richer and more interesting than any concept. An art is the artist's life.
My paintings are recognizable by expressive manner; they performed with a wide spatula. Besides the obvious and conceived symbols, they contain many other, which my subconscious creates, expressive moving of my hand. Allegedly accidentally, allegedly by themselves. The imagination of the viewer, a random stream of consciousness and feelings on the canvas is a lot of implicit symbols that communicate the subconscious of the artist and the viewer.
