"Unconditional Love" 2023
Abstraction with moving transforming forms and noise. Inspired by macro photography of organic fabrics, ideas of synthesis of organic and synthetic.
To what extent are my feelings caused by chemical reactions and is love between a person and an entity within the Metaverse possible if there is initially a condition of unconditional love for a person. Is it possible to convey your feelings in the space of the Metaverse?

"My Lighthouse" 2022
If we assume that time has the shape of a point, then everything is already here and now. The lighthouse inside a person illuminates the path from this point. And some even managed to illuminate the path of many people through time.
In difficult moments of life, I look for inspiration in art. Once I entered a subway car decorated with the works of Vladimir Mayakovsky, and it was as if I had left my own reality, immersed in the world of his images. The lines of the poem came to mind naturally. A little later, I collected this state into art in the virtual reality application OpenBrush, placed there a photo scan of the wall from the Mayakovskaya metro station and my poem. I also added a 3D model of the library to this collage, and my daughter wrote the music. The result was a video, screenshots and a project for viewing on VR. More details

Interactive VR art project "Roerich's Symbol of Peace" 2022
I created a 3D art object "Symbol of Peace" and immersed it in virtual reality space.
This is a rhyme to the symbol of peace, which was reinterpreted in the works of Nicholas Roerich.
The viewer sits in a chair, puts on an oculus helmet and goes on a virtual journey through the peaks of Tibet, in the very location where the Roerich expedition was doomed to failure.
During an excursion along the mountain peaks, the viewer becomes a member of the expedition, moves in space, listens to an audio guide and gets acquainted with the historical stories of the Roerichs.
Session duration is 15 minutes. You can visit the excursion wearing an Oculus Quest 2 VR helmet; control and movement in space is carried out using joysticks: right hand - turns left/right, left hand - teleport/steps.
The project is available in apk format

VR ART PROJECT "Whale Fish" 2022
At the end of February 2022, during my illness, I took a 3D scan of myself using an iPhone using a selfie stick. Then there was apathy and a complete lack of understanding of how to live and what to do. Conducted an audit of the values and let me go. I finally got around to it and I finalized this state through a visual image in Viara through intuitive drawing/construction. Cleaned it up in blender and threw it into openbrush.
While painting the walls, I remembered the Russian fairy tale about the Whale Fish. And she placed herself virtually on the whale. I am experimenting with new formats of visual language.

ART PROJECT "IDOLS" 2018
Complaint of consumer ideals.
The second commandment says: "Do not make yourself an idol. An idol in itself is a spiritual deception, an emptiness, but this emptiness, this spiritual vacuum is filled by dark forces. Therefore, a person who is attached more to the creation than to the Creator is under the influence of demonic forces."
Idealization is the endowment of someone or something with perfect qualities that do not correspond to the real characteristics of the object. In psychology, idealization is a defense mechanism: the Hungarian psychoanalyst Sándor Ferenczi views it as the ability of children to transfer the quality of "almighty" to others.
