deciders

The first country on the way to a safe haven was sunny Spain. Having settled among the picturesque mountains of Barcelona, I continued my experiments with associativism, carefully masking interiors in my paintings and generating various subjects on their foundations.

Still under the strong impression of the events in Ukraine, I had the thought that somewhere out there, there are offices in which ordinary people like you and me are controlling the lives of millions of others. The absurdity of this fact, as well as the fact that an absolute minority has subordinated a huge number of people to its power, did not give me peace.

Barcelona is known to be one of the most graffiti-loved cities in the world. Walking the streets of the city, I often came across graffiti with an acutely anti-political orientation. This inspired me to use this technique in the realization of my own idea.

Disguised, interior base and images of male politicians formed the basis of one single frame, which depicts the apogee of human insensitivity - the moment of adoption of the next anti-people law.
