Last week I had a privilege of returning to Nizhniy Novgorod for a street art festival “MESTO” organized by Zerno Pro and curated by Nikita Nomerz. As part of the festival Nikita has presented his street art documentary that he worked on for over 6 years, it was titled “The Open Film”. Working on my wall I explored the idea behind the title, openness/insularity forward thinking/traditionalism and so forth. Many bypassers found their own interpretations which is what I always loved about painting borderline abstract/representative artworks. What do you see in it?

In the summer of 2016, I have organized a live art painting at the largest open air festival in Russia - VK festival. Alongside Trace of Colors and Synergy Artists member Tony Stork and his crew Rayons we constructed an assembly of cubes that served as a canvas for an anamorphic image. Working with a 3-dimensional space instead of flat surface allowed us to create an anamorphic image that needs to be viewed from a specific point. We had 3 images painted by three teams, mine depicted Sansa Stark of Game of Thrones played by Sophie Turner, house Stark sigil and a bunch of emoji’s that resembled my feeling about the end of 6th season. Overall a great experience!
