   ARTIST STATEMENT 

The main focus of my ideas is turned to the endless study of the anthropology of man of the present and future, his sensory organs, inclusion - complete immersion in a work of art through any mediums accessible to perception, directing attention to invisible to the eye matter. As well as the interaction of a person with himself, self-acceptance and space, mental activity and evolution.
Due to the frequent change of cultural and social environment, I study the problems of self-identification, difficulties of socialization, norms of interpersonal communication and languages.
In my works I often turn to philosophical texts, ontology and semiotics., I start a dialogue with artists and scientists.
I explore religious rituals and ancient texts of Asia, the East, Europe, Russia in ethnographic expedition trips, combining them with the rituals of the future I use in my projects and performances.
Studying an interdisciplinary field, I work at the junction of various techniques and directions: installation, performance, sculpture, olfactory art, painting, video art, sound art Science art. Most often I use smells in combination with sculpture, as this is directly related to my perception of the world through touch and smell, I often see images through smells, and I perceive space in bulk. Aesthetics and the concept of minimalism are close to me, and my palette of colors is a palette of smells, with this palette I paint monochrome forms.
At the moment I am working on inclusive, olfactory projects "Invisible Language" exploring ways of communication in society in the post-pandemic time and "Face ID. Ifquil" exploring the field of socialization and self-identification, the emergence of new languages in the field of inclusion, in interpersonal and interspecific communication at the intersection of science, digital and physical fields, in collaboration with scientists Skoltech University and their innovative developments .
