Welcome to my world

Space Metamodern

"We are stardust."
What is Space Metamodern?
At the end of 2018, I created my first painting featuring a woman in a space helmet. Now, my collection has grown to over 200 paintings. In each piece, I craft a universe with people in helmets, telling a unique story. My characters view ordinary life through the prism of space, scale, and infinity.
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by space with its vastness, infinity, energy, and emptiness. On a grander scale, space holds the secrets of our past and offers hope for the future.
"We all came from stardust, and in time, we will return to it."

Today, by merging my artistic journey with AR and AI, I'm not just expanding the boundaries of my creativity but also adding a new dimension to my works.
AR allows my characters to come to life and interact with viewers, making the art experience even more immersive and multifaceted. With the integration of AI, each painting and AR work becomes part of a larger, ever-evolving digital universe that I am creating.

Artist
I'm a multimedia artist and my practice spans multiple mediums including oil painting, digital illustration, AI graphics, video, and AR sculpture.
My parents wanted me to become an engineer; the study of mathematics and physics has always been and remains a part of me. These experiences influence my creative process and I integrate new technologies and scientific concepts into my works.

My main source of inspiration is space. I'm fascinated by the idea that we humans come from stardust and will eventually become it. This concept permeates my work, I strive to combine subjects from modern life with astrophysics and quantum mechanics. I use photos from social networks as a starting point, adding elements related to science and technology, mathematical and physical formulas. This creates a characteristic dynamic in my works.
My work often shows the process of creating an object: paint runs, cross-outs, traces of other mediums, digital distortions and artifacts. These elements serve as a reminder that imperfections and mistakes are the natural nature and course of life. Every detail in my works, be it a digital anomaly or a random spot of paint, has its role.

My art combines elements of conceptualism and metamodernism. I use vivid images of modern culture, giving them depth through scientific concepts. It creates a complex set of images and ideas, asking questions about our role in the world and the universe.
