Artwork Description:

I cannot really say that this is a dialog between two centuries, more of a conflict between two eras and its representatives. Despite the fact that people do not changewell, maybe just the entourage and technologyit is still a conflict. It is the ordinary person and his common voices that I have in mind. Ignorance, greed, deception and lying in the name of Profit, Ego-these are all the things I am describing here, expressing their most vivid characteristics through images of animals, birds and etc. A lot pf people are brainwashed. I believe they brainwash themselves by creating various emotions and acting on them. I always turn to symbolism and metaphors. It helps me identify and express various characteristics in a powerful way, sometimes get even beyond that. And HUMORHumor is another useful tool, of course� Imagine taking a group of people, just random people from the street outside of your window, various characters, and transferring them to 15th century or vice versa�This should help you understand some way my point.
