About Me

My photo
I do not believe in dreams. I believe in reality, when looked closely upon even the ugly things in this world have small amounts of beauty in them.

Two-Dimensional Works of Art: Concentration

My concentration started out with me wanting to explore my family’s background. The first pieces focus on the Russian
culture. Then, I realized that a big part of Russia was the Communist USSR. Thus, my concentration evolved to communist propaganda posters. Most of my propaganda pieces involved some sort of text. Some of the posters are photographs of Russian countryside, which I took during my summer visit.
