Born on 2001 in Yeysk, Russia

In my practice, I explore the nature of images and digital visuals produced by contemporary media, as well as the relationship between these images and the reality we inhabit. I am interested in how images exist on the internet, how they are formed and integrated into the world, and how they subsequently influence it. I study the ways in which we interact with narratives transmitted through media, and what exactly these narratives aim to tell us.

I use the internet as an alphabet of ready-made images, transforming the found imagery, thereby emphasizing the peculiarities of their existence in the digital environment and attesting to the inevitable breakdown in the process of their detachment from physical reality. It is important for me to show how consumed content regulates our attention and shapes aesthetic coordinates, how it forces us to construct and perceive life, following pre-set narratives. I strive to reveal the potential of the image to produce desire, to show that anything can become part of a consumerist system.

As my primary medium, I employ painting. I often resort to the effect of chromatic aberration, enhancing the brightness in the image. Through this, I aim to emphasize the material, transient nature of what is depicted. As a result of the lengthy creation of each work, there is an accumulation of intensity within the resulting image – this emphasizes the intensity of the scenarios offered to us.
