I researched the contradictions between the modern and the old world, how to find points of contact between them and get the most out of this interaction. From the old world are taken the pattern of khokhloma and the material wood - the most popular in Russia.


Ornaments and patterns from ancient times have been protecting people from bad weather, the unknown and so on. I was looking for an answer to the question “What ornaments and patterns will a modern person have?”. What is modern man afraid of now, in addition to what his ancestors were afraid of.
The result of the research so far is presented in three paintings:
“The Linking of Worlds”
“Dialogue of Intelligences”
“Soborovanie”
