ON EARTH
"God is playing on Earth with his avatars"
What if it's true that our whole life on Earth is a big kind GAME, and we are all just AVATARS?

"Matrix Failure"
This work refers us to the paintings of the futurists, who explore movement and convey dynamics.
Variability is clearly visible, matter passes through several faces and emotions. Reality is unsteady, ringing, joking with us, winking by a thousand faces. It's a matrix failure.
The "Manifesto of Futurism" by Giacomo Balla glorified the future and extolled the movement. 100 year ago Futurists dreamed of progress.
Today, technological progress is daily manifesting itself with new facets, but do our human personalities keep up with it, or are they stuck in a haze of ignorance?
How do we fix this matrix failure?

"Life is like a lost subway car going to eternity"
One day in a subway car, you suddenly meet a character that you drew 3 years ago
or notice something strange. Is reality laughing at us?
Or are we all living in a GAME?
For many years this subway car has been considered mysteriously missing. And then, one day, it appears at the station. Passengers in it are calm and indifferent. For them, only a moment has passed.

"Once at a session with old Freud"
What does a psychoanalyst's patient feel?

Does the collective unconscious influence our future?

"Humanity sleeps in the net of samsara"
Very soon there will be Metaverses, where our Avatars will live a vibrant life that we can only dream of.
While we will sleep in networks of wires. What if it's already happening?
And we are already someone's Avatars? Then who is the real player?

"Dance, your Angel is with you!"
Sometimes we notice that some invisible hand pushes us away from trouble,
and leads us through life. Maybe our Angels exist?
Or is it the administrators of our global virtual game?
How wonderful it is to believe that life is a game,
and each of us has invisible strength and support.
There is our own Angel.

"The main question of the universe"
Sometimes it seems to me that I predict the future, the images themselves come to my canvases.
Here I see how the ship shells the city, and God looks sternly from above.
What is it, is he angry with the ship? Or, on the contrary, is it a test sent to the city from above?
Why does God allow wars, catastrophes, and the death of people in suffering?

"The birth of a new man. last try"
This painting was originally called "Death by Fire". It was created in 2019
when terrible fires destroyed the Siberian forests.
But later I noticed that there are observers on the canvas.
And I realized that the story on the canvas is much deeper than just death.
This is the birth of a new man.
He will be wise, strong, and compassionate. He will not seek to crush and kill people who think otherwise.
He is born through pain and blood, fire and war. And all the other inhabitants of the universe observe this sacred process without undue compassion, understanding the need for this initiation.
