5, 7 and 20?
5. What piece of art are you still proud of to this day? (Show or describe) Couldn't choose between those. They are not technically impressive but evoke some deep thoughts about my own art. Both are re-made pleinairs. Come and see (2019) is about mundanity and acceptance of life's course even in the apocalypse; Guest (2021) captures hidden danger and melancholy which I love to try to portray in my works. Those are the ones that I stile love not because they're popular but because I am still satisfied with what I've done.
7. Who are some artists that have inspired you? Kirill Chelushkin — I am a big fan of his illustrations since childhood and tried to unsuccessfully emulate his style many times. John Bauer, obviously. Adored his works and view of folklore. His art genuinely formated the way I dress (or used to) My great friend Hekkil [Х]. A am still extremely envious of their imagination, spontaneity and sense of composition, and meeting them pushed me to try to do better.
20. What motivates/inspires you artistically? (topics, emotions, etc) Random street views, sense of light melancholy and abandonment, mixtures of old/magical and mundane/modern.
