Statement
There are several points of interest in my artistic practice that are connected to each other. As a rule, they are centered around the phenomenon of error (s) both in the historical development of my country and in the personal experience of the individual.
On the one hand, I turn to the past, trying to restore historical justice that has been violated. I am interested in losers, in individuals who have been thrown into the dustbin of history. I try to find for them a place in the sun again. On the other hand, the margins of life are what occupy me in the present. Life outside of schedules and timetables, nomadism.

This opens the way to yet another artistic space — a fictional parallel reality, which is built not on the principle of an alternative (possible) history, but on the principle of the impossibility of certain phenomena (such as what would happen if there were only one Russia on Earth, or what if the sun disappeared), but which nevertheless reflects the real in man and the world even more prominently.
Somewhere between the desire to make
another (this time successful) revolution and
the desire to escape from everyone and hide in eternal wandering
lies the source of the art I do.
