Antipodes Optimism and Pessimism by Alexander Limarev | digital collage, computer graphics | Siberia

 

Artwork for me is the way to speculate upon and explain to myself such universal existential problems as a person’s life, double standards and their influence on individuals, public loneliness, social impotence, search of God, resistance to Evil. I think of my artwork as inner monologues developing over a particular thought or event and thus resembling nonsense, stream of consciousness in visual art, based on paradox, absurd, broken causative-consecutive and chronological connections, reflecting discrepancy, injustice of the outer reality. However, decorative artworks are a happy exception.
