Author’s Art Project “Code of the Nation”

Code of the Nation is a search for roots — a deep immersion into generations of the past in order to trace the foundations of national culture. It explores those layers of primary information that transform with each new generation, yet remain the core of cultural identity.

Each region has its own unique traditions, clothing, and everyday culture. At the same time, there is something shared that unites them all and embodies the nation as a whole. This sense of identity exists almost on a genetic level, revealing itself especially in times of crisis through strong connections between people that persist throughout history.

Author's art project "Surface"

"Surface" is a project of artistic ceramic panels that explores natural landscape compositions. As a basis for the composition, the author uses satellite images of the Earth, Mars and other planets. Using the zoom tool, the desired composition is searched for and then transferred to prepared clay layers, after which the composition is translated into volume by a set of forms and textures in the author's technique.
