Balls and womenKolobkis i matryoshkas

Matryoshka is a well known Russian image. Kolobok is less known outside

Russia fairy tale character.This is my first attempt to work with my

Russian identity.

Matryoshkas represent different types of Russian women.

I was ironical and at the same time I like my personages.

The series Kolobki is about the inner self. About something that hides inside but always look through and keep the

one rolling on.

Video

Working with videos is like filming dreams.Dreams that you can share with others.

And with video you can always revisit your dreams.

Making a video is creating your one real-ity sometimes slightly based on the actual

reality.

Video has the power to make something that used to be very technically complicated really

easy and fast.

Video is like painting but using keyboard, seconds and sound.
