COMPLEX INTELLECTUAL ART

ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I am interested in complex literary, religious, and philosophical themes grounded in history, science,
symbolism, mysticism, personal experience, and imagination.
The theme of a painting is not always clear in advance. Sometimes it reveals itself during the process,
and sometimes it becomes fully understood only long after the work has been completed.
For me, painting is a process in which themes, meanings, and connections gradually reveal themselves.
Currently, I am working on a series of circular portraits of great personalities, including Goethe, Dante, Swift,
and other, while continuing to create illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy and paintings inspired by
religious and philosophical themes.

ARTISTIC BIO
Born in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel. Father of three children.
Grew up on stage from an early age, first studying classical ballet and later performing as a child
actor in a professional theatre. Many of his paintings are conceived as theatrical mise-en-scènes,
with events, figures and symbols unfolding across the stage-like space of the canvas.
“There are stage curtains hidden along the edges in almost all of them.”
