Zmogk

(Russia, 1979)

In Stars, the fisherman sitting by the ocean is a metaphor for our actions that are motivated by our desire for a brighter future. Using the principles of color theory and psychology, the meaning of the surrounding sky is open to interpretation.

“If you see a sunrise, you start waiting and you are very optimistic. But if you see a sunset, it’s more pessimistic, things are almost over. I leave the meaning of my painting open to interpretation. That’s why my works are half abstract, half figurative.” / Zmogk
