I used to live in Russia and Latvia, and now am living in the UK, and every time moving to the new country, I realized that I can no longer stay within the boundaries of one culture and one society. At some point I clearly understood that my nationality is pan-European. This personal transformation has been reflected in my art.
I can see two basic connections among European people. One of them is in our shared cultural Past – these are our classical myths and the influence of Christianity. The other one in our Present – this is our global postmodernist cultural space.
My artworks’ series «Classical myths and the reality of postmodernism» is based on these symbols of the Past and reality of the Present and it is about our (and my own) pan-European culture.
“The human ( self-portrait)”
“Drink it up!”
