My first artwork in "architectural cubism"...
We look at the universe and perceive it differently. We see and perceive every phenomenon and object through the prism of various worldviews, currents, the influence of the environment and events of our life and our reactions to them. Every day we gain new experience, every day we change.
This prompted me to depict the surroundings as if from different angles and under different lighting, in the paintings from this series, the color of the object or its shade changes from the opposite sides of the cubic faces.
In my paintings from the "Cubic City" series, I depict architectural forms as if from different angles, simplifying them to simple cube and rectangle shapes, leaving only the characteristic elements of the decor unchanged.
We all look at the same object, at the same phenomenon, but each person sees it differently.
Everything around interacts with each other. Interacting with each other, new forms, new colors, shades, and new structures arise.
I try to reproduce and convey this interaction in my painting.
The house in my picture cannot be only one color. The sun is shining, the sky is bright blue, houses of other colors are nearby and people passing by have different moods. All these shapes and colors interpenetrate each other, colors and shades mix, creating a unique "cubic world" in my paintings.
Perhaps it was from this work that my admiration with "architectural cubism" began.
And it was 20 years ago)
I was lucky to be born, live and study in Lviv and have good teachers. At that time, I liked the work of Vasarely with his op-art and Escher with his magical houses.
I try something new every time, but "my style" always remains the same.
