The Red in my works has a
deep meaning. In Russian
language the word ‘red’
often has an equal meaning
to the word ‘beautiful’.
Russian writer Fyodor
Dostoevsky said ‘Beauty
will save the World’, so I
believe that in my works
I transform my perception
of the ‘red’ as ‘beautiful’
into a symbol of ‘saving
the world’. I believe that a purpose of art is keeping the world in balance and harmony. It’s an
honour, but also a huge responsibility to be an artist. Artists are responsible for what we are
bringing to the world within our creativity, for every single brush stroke we produce. I believe
that images and objects created with passion can transform reality. We all create the world
around, and the more positive and beautiful art created today, the better will be the world to
live in tomorrow. Beauty will Save the World and Art IS this powerful tool to bring the Beauty to
the World – to Save it.
