Waves, wild coastlines and the places that keep calling me back
Waves, wild coastlines and the places that keep calling me back
Hey there!
I paint the space between places - between Sochi and Bali, between mountains and ocean breaks, between the quiet moments of home and the wild rythm of travel.
I paint what I've seen, but more often - what I've felt: movement, memory, energy, longing, freedom.
Every painting is a fragment of my own geography.
Every series - a chapter of a bigger story I'm still writing.

As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas and land on barbarous coasts.
| 6 am at Central Java Modern world is a strange place. Before going anywhere, you could virtually ride the streets with google maps, look some photos via instagram, listen for stories of people, who already visited it and create kinda image of this place. Read more Sometimes expectations are too high. And sometimes reality beats them all. I heard and read lots of thing about Java. Almost everyone, who i spoke told that its super inhabited, poor, unsafe, messy.. My close friend even described it as "The pain of soul". And know what? One moment I decided to feel that pain, just to see another kind of reality. And standing in the heart of most inhabited and most explosive (due to numerous volcanos) island in the World, the only feeling, overloading me, is harmony - with people around, with nature, with world and with myself....even tho my self condition wasn’t perfect at all At that very moment I thought about phrase heard somewhere - "Bali is the morning of the World". With all love I have to this magic island, it's not Bali, it's Java |
