Nobody knows anything for sure. There are many hypotheses about the future and the things which are waiting for us there. Why should we rack our brains over some new guesses, make out tales, meditate on the things which will happen to you sooner or later? What should we, mere mortals, do? We should think about our mission and life way.
I work as a private interior designer, limn pictures. I can’t say that I am only an artist… I try not to label anything or anybody, including myself. There are men and women, there are grandfathers and grandmothers, there are children. There should be no more labels.
A friend still stands for help and support.
I am not that good at relaxing in Moscow. How can one relax here? I can’t catch the thing…
My favourite countries are those at arm’s length. I get sick of flights.
I’ve invented a new painting technique — applying a number of layers of acrylic. This is my achievement. But after all I earn money through designer’s work and not through painting.
I’ve got inspiration from outside.
Paintings are not quick-selling goods nowadays. People tend to spend money on anything but on art. Let’s say a jacket or an arm chair are necessary and as for a painting… To hell with it! They’d better buy a poster! It’s much regrettable but we are not able to set real value to the art.
There are two ways for the contemporary art in Russia to develop: either we shall need a mammoth deal of time to educate an artistic taste, or we need to invest money to launch art centers.
When you are walking along the streets in Europe you take every other door as a piece of art, and here it’s all destroyed, a light artistry being left.
Man-woman relations transformation is an evolutionary process. We are just changing, that is the point.
The fact that there’s another life is obvious. But what is it like? I think it’s good.
Many artists live in their own world. Some create only music, others — only paintings. These people are so much devoted to their work that they turn to be in a kind of vacuum of their talent. I for one prefer to verify my professional life and be a creative person of “broad scope” (laughing).
Everybody lacks money. Always. Whatever they say…
