We lose something every day, what we don't have, but we could had it. In this situation, it's all up to us. But the dream is so pleasant that not everyone wants to wake up.
When approaching this majestic auditorium, I was immediately captivated by the purity of its lines. My intention was to transcend mere architectural documentation to reveal the poetic essence of this structure. By isolating this particular curve and working in black and white, I sought to create a tension between the immensity of the structure and the delicacy of its form. The deliberately minimalist composition allows the eye to focus on the dialogue between shadow and light, transforming this architectural feat into an almost celestial abstraction. I waited for the moment when natural light would perfectly sculpt this bright line on the building's surface, creating a dramatic contrast that elevates the sensuality of the curve.

Alone on a strange and endless podium...
Abstraction, simplicity and anamorphosis. Each cylinder
of this giant podium somehow symbolizes a challenge in life.
I made this new project recently in my studio in Belgium,
because I really love geometric abstraction. You can view
the sketch in progress at this link (mixed media).

Update: Many new prints now available.

When music becomes a pictorial art.
When colors create rhythm and dynamics of movement.
Disassemble something into its primordial components and combine it in an order dictated by your own inspiration. As a goal, as an inner desire.
"This is the moment when you're holding a vinyl record of old music and there's a sampler on the table. The process of searching and recording, slicing and playing pads.
Every time it's like you're blind, start listening to something you've never heard before; funk, jazz, pop. Trying to find what you need. It's like putting together a mosaic. And gradually, a new one picture appears from the old parts"
"9 random numbers between 0 and 9", mixed media on panel, 12" x 9" x 1.5", 2019. SOLD
This painting will be featured at my upcoming exhibition, "Sleep on it. It will come to you", opening Thursday October 24th, 2019. Show runs until November 3rd at Gallery 1313 (1313 Queen Street West, Toronto).
On a whim and in my complete ignorance of this kind of abstract, I thought I would try playing around with some shapes and texture to see if I could make something.
It's got circles and I really like circles so that's something I guess and it's saved it from being dumped into the file labelled, "Dorky Experiments".
For now.

Franciska Clausen (1899-1986) - Neoplasticist composition (1930). Private collection. Shown at the temporary exhibition "Art+Machine Rising Contenders of the 1920s" at the Sven-Harry's Art Museum, Stockholm, summer 2023.
Did Clausen heard of Mondrian? Yes, she did. In 1929 and 1930 she was involved with the group "Cercle et Carré" of which Mondrian was a leading figure. But Mondrian disapproved of her work, probably because he felt it was too lyrical. In this composition she broke some of Mondrian's rules, by using red lines instead of black lines and colouring some of the squares with pastel tones rather than strictly primary colours. Nevertheless works such as this one consolidated the perception that she was a derivative artist who lacked originality.

This artwork is dedicated to a very important period of my life. I am part of hip hop culture in Ukraine and still am on the move.
Together with my friends and enemies, we popularized this culture in our country. Often with no special opportunities, no money, uniting to record, looking for ways to get into the club with our songs, we performed on stage for free, in order to show our creative material to the public.
We were crazy, burning with ideas, participating in battles, competing, fighting. For us it was a real life school, we studied every day, laid the foundation for future artists.
