I am writing this to answer your possible questions about sources of my art inspiration.
Picture concepts could come from anywhere: unusual window views, fantastic movie scenes, or routine commercial posters.
The ideas are in the air, they are all over the place. Usually they come as a vague vision of something interestingly abnormal, something you define as extraordinary and atypical. Generally, the first impression transforms dramatically at the end of the creative process.
In the majority of my works I am trying to combine visual realities with subconscious emotions and philosophical thoughts.
My pictures are similar to mental puzzles where you can travel from one point to another by analyzing a picture’s symbolic objects. Sometimes a picture’s subject matter is unclear when the path is hidden under layers of mutually excepted items. Sometimes a picture could look almost abstract and meaningless but there is always something for you to discover.
I never force my vision or push my philosophical opinion on the viewer. I only hint them by image titles. It is entirely your job to build the picture concept based on your personal experience, understanding and preferences.
