Human, his struggle for existence and future is what interests me most. Through a mixture of different genres and mediums, I try to study the endless human protest against circumstances and world changes, the attempt to escape into the arms of self-deception, the desire not to part with the past and the fear of going into an incomprehensible future. I look at the crossing of genres and types of art as relationships between people, constantly changing under the influence of the surrounding reality, where every step, every turn, every change can turn into tragedy or triumph.
The background of an opera director, video artist, performance artist, poet and playwright, conductor and musician, photographer and lighting technician does not allow me to do just one thing. All these genres mixed within me as I developed and matured as an artist, becoming an integral part of my personality.
Having worked for a long time in opera and musical theaters, the concept of Gesamtkunstwerk was firmly entrenched in my mind, but not from the point of view of the era of romanticism, but from the point of view of modern life and the development of new trends and technologies. Many of the directions were born and developed with me. And my curiosity still leads me to personal experiments.
