“Infra-Sculptures” - is my journey of reconciliation with the uncertainty of our time and my own life. I took comfort in the shapes of everyday objects, pieces of our world that are ordinary and overlooked. In these connections, I recognized aspects of myself within each object. They too had contorted and mutated under the onslaught pressures of external forces. Irrevocably changed and yet they still possessed a distinctive beauty all their own. In the manipulation of colors, inspiring a range of sentiments from tranquility, to chaos, and even a touch of humor.

Born in Baku, in the former Soviet Union, and now based in the Stockholm area, Sweden. My creative practice is shaped by the intersection of my cultural heritage, my identity as a homosexual, and the influence of art and cinema, particularly the works of Tarkovsky and Bergman. Through a metaphysical lens, I explore themes of identity, time, and human emotion. These experiences shape my artistic voice, allowing me to merge the personal with the universal, positioning my work as both a reflection of and a critique on contemporary life.
