"Red room"
Idea of art-project: Red it is force and the power, riches and blood, Energy of movement and categorical interdiction. In a word red is a life.
"Black water and white water"
Idea of art-project: The most part of our planet is covered with water. The most part of a human body consists of water. Water gives a human a life, but can take away it. Black water is a substance, which capable to wash and remove all systems and borders, White water gives for all us chance to start from white sheet again.
"The stone garden"
Idea of art-project: Who knows, probably, our Universe is only a stone garden, placed by the Founder in space emptiness in an ideal order and harmony, probably it is a place for His meditation.
"The dedication to unwritten verses"
Conception of art-project : It often happens that ingenious poems which we could have written are crossed out by life, but history would not permit subjunctive mood. In this project the author is trying to lift the veil of might-have-been events. Uncreated images and crossed out scraps of unwritten poems are sweeping past him like shadows. The artist, like an archaeologist, is trying to remove the topcoat of daily occurrence under which our dreams are buried.
