About this artwork
"Guilty Pleasure"
Against a deep cobalt background, a transparent plastic bag appears — empty yet holding a shape that faintly resembles a human figure with raised arms. In its folds, golden croissant crumbs shimmer like traces of a small transgression, a moment when desire outweighed intention. The bag becomes a symbol of a sweet instant that has passed but not entirely released its hold, where pleasure and guilt meet as two sides of the same human… frailty.
In “Guilty Pleasure,” an ordinary object becomes a sign of quiet human weakness: a small temptation we allow to win, and a joy for which we sometimes reproach ourselves. The work turns an everyday moment into a poetic confession, where pleasure and awkwardness coexist, forming an image familiar to everyone.

I explore time as a living substance.
Through light, reflection, shadow and transformation, I seek to reveal the invisible presence of time and the traces it leaves behind. Working across painting, photography and moving image, I explore the hidden forces that shape nature and human experience, connecting the fleeting moment with eternity and the visible with the unseen.
Born in Novokuznetsk, Russia, in 1959, I have lived and worked in the Netherlands since 1991. I studied at the Kemerovo Regional Art Academy and the Stroganov Academy of Industrial Art and Design in Moscow, graduating with distinction.
My work has been presented in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions internationally and has received awards and nominations in international art, photography and film competitions. My artistic practice also includes books, films, lectures and commissioned portraits. My work is held in museum, public and private collections internationally.
