"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 years 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?
But, no, wait, we clearly see how the soul of humanity is changing, through many images and faces, from an animal grin to a vulnerable and sincere person who accepts himself and others.
This will be our future, full of acceptance, tolerance, and freedom.

"Life is like a lost subway car going to eternity"
Once, having noticed some strangeness in the surrounding reality, we suddenly realize that reality is unsteady, it laughs and winks at us, and it plays with us.
One day in a subway car, I suddenly met a character that drew 3 years ago.
Arriving home, I peered into my picture and saw the outlines of the underground carriage
and passengers there, and completed this picture.
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. And only the occasional witnesses at the station gazed in amazement at the ghost wagon.

"Once at a session with old Freud"
In today's world of change, we all feel the need for inner transformation.
Sincerity and vulnerability become the main force in the new reality.
Humanity seems to be at the reception of a psychoanalyst,
trying to honestly accept each of its fragments.
What does a psychoanalyst's patient feel?
Maybe we feel vulnerability, nakedness, and acceptance of our animal nature;
or do we feel pain and awareness of the multitude of Minds inhabiting our bodies?

"Humanity sleeps in the net of sansara"
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.

"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.

"Greed takes over Atlantis"
The painting captures a haunting moment in the mythic downfall of Atlantis. This is an Atlantean woman, once a symbol of the civilization's purity and openness, now consumed by insatiable greed.
Legends speak of a utopian society undone by their own desires and aggression, leading the gods to unleash wrath upon Atlantis, causing its magnificent land to vanish beneath the waves in a single catastrophic day.
This artwork stands as a cautionary tale for modern society.
