EXTREMEAL (2005) 绘画 由 Александр /Alex/ Шинин /Shynin/

I am Alexander Shinin, an artist and the founder of the movement "Isoaxiologism" (2017).

Let's imagine a situation: a person has only a week to live.  At this moment, consciousness sharpens, and everything unimportant recedes into the background.

What remains is the essential: love, light, moments of sincerity, the warmth of someone’s hands, the scent of childhood, the beauty of nature.
All that cannot be bought, sold, or measured.
 All that we tend to postpone “for later,” not realizing that this is life itself.

We immerse ourselves in daily routines, in the race for status and material gain, losing touch with our true feelings, forgetting that it is beauty, inspiration, inner harmony, and love that form the very essence of our being.

That is why I created my artistic movement — Isoaxiologism (from ISO — image, AXIA — value, LOGOS — reasoning).
Its primary mission is to remind people of true values — those that matter to the heart and soul, not to external validation.
 Isoaxiologism is an art-philosophy of spiritually conscious perception of life.

This movement is based on a system of axiological (value-based) priorities and proclaims that art is capable not only of touching a person but transforming them.
At the core of my worldview are ancient Vedic knowledge, the teachings of Buddha and Jesus Christ, positive thinking, and faith in the power of the creative act.
 Thoughts are material. Art programs reality.

Throughout history, art has often depicted pessimism, apathy and aggression, which are certainly part of the modern world.

If an artist paints destruction — he sends destruction into the world.
 But I strive, through light, harmony, and joy, to convey a different message to people — one of hope, awareness, and inner strength.

Conclusion
Isoaxiologism is a new style. It is a path.
A philosophy capable of transforming one’s perception of life.
It invites us to see the light in the world, to recognize value within ourselves, and to perceive art as a path to awakening.
 And if even one person, standing before my painting, thinks about love, about the present, and feels joy — then this path has meaning.
