About this artwork
In Mirage, the space unfolds as a fragile boundary between heat and memory. In the cobalt-blue lower field, greenish water emerges—either a river or a trembling phantom of desire, rising in the mind of a wanderer exhausted by thirst. Above it lies a yellow sky, a heated veil through which planets drift in procession, like thoughts or shadows of other worlds appearing when reality is overheated and consciousness opens to what is usually hidden.
The… painting turns the mirage into a metaphor for the modern human condition. In a world of overload and uncertainty, we too find ourselves in an inner desert where it is difficult to distinguish the real from the shimmer of longing. The planets become possibilities, the water a hope, and the yellow haze our own distorted perception. Mirage reminds us that in moments of exhaustion, the psyche reveals deep signals—what we truly seek, emerging where reality becomes uncertain.

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.
