Digital Arts & NFT collections
I started creating the 'Unreal' Faces collection in 2022.
These works are a mix of Photography, Digital Manipulation Collage, and painting.
I create "unreal" faces and characters from photographs taken by me in museums (Louvre, Versailles, etc), in nature, and in the city. Often the building blocks for my digital collages are photographs of my physical paintings or handmade accessories.
Getting on the working field of the program, the photos are bent, twisted, and stretched, as if life itself passes through them and breathes in the idea. And now, I can already see how the image begins to emerge. He looks fun, sad, or smiles mysteriously, depending on the sensations that I catch in space. Sometimes I feel like I'm predicting the future.
I'm talking about the actual, about what worries all of humanity today: about the secrets of the universe and the world order, human destinies, and the depths of a person's personality. This is a game of choice.
"Welcome to the Game on Earth!"
What if it's true that our whole life on Earth is a big kind virtual GAME, and we are all just AVATARS?
And we have the ability to choose our destiny for the next 100 years?
So, in my paintings, I create various possible versions of human destinies and AVATARS.
Today we are broken, sharp as pieces of glass, we do not know who to rely on, or how to collect ourselves. But, I understand that if you accept each of your pieces - a fragment, there will be hope and an opportunity to start building yourself and treating yourself and others with care and respect.
And the creation of Digital Avatars helps me to rethink and convey the search and acceptance of my own fragments, my subpersonalities, and my Avatars.
I go through my hero's journey in every character. I am aware of my transformation and see how it is synchronized with the transformation of our entire society.
I believe that having gone through wars, and the destruction of existing systems and dictatorships, humanity will come to a new era of Goodness, Acceptance, and Freedom. And while the world is on the verge of great changes, we all inevitably feel this Zeitgeist.
Metamodernism perfectly conveys this unity of disturbing reality and the beautiful virtual world and makes it possible to create the Game in the language of art and invite the viewer into it. Here you can make mistakes and not be lost, there is free will, and it is not suppressed, but supported and accepted by society.
Here you can hear your inner voice, trust it and understand the intention of the soul that once chose this incarnation and this fate. And so break free.
