I’ve seen things in this life that I'm incapable of translating into words. In my practice I have visited realms where the imagination ends, and the terrifying beauty of infinity unfolds. I don’t know why I make this art, or what compels me to keep creating it; it’s a mystery I intend to pursue for the rest of my life, and each image brings me closer to the Ultimate Truth
The world manifests intricacies in all levels, macro, and micro, within realms of both matter and mind. Perhaps the most exquisite expressions of these intricacies are perceived in psychedelic and visionary states of consciousness. There is a transcendental profundity in witnessing the unfolding of intricacies within these states. As such, I have become a devout disciple in seeking the sublime through psychedelic and visionary states of consciousness. My Art is an expression arising from this seeking.
After graduating in the year 2000 in both the visual arts and graphic design I settled in my first studio and continued painting in oil & acrylic, making sculptures, experimenting with paintbrush, photography, audio and video, constructing installations and much much more. Besides creating for the sake of art I was lucky to find some creative jobs such as being a special FX painter, decor and light artist for theather and events, a video technician and director for live events of an on the road radio-show and the making of decor for TV series, movies and festivals . This way I kept myself submerged in the world of visualization and kept adding to my collection of skills. One day - after deciphering and following up on the advice coming from an overwhelmingly colorful being in one of my dreams - my artistic efforts pivoted, took off and have allowed me to join many international festivals and events - reaching to the far corners of Europe, Japan, South Africa, Australia and the US. At this very moment I am still focused on deeper exploring my visionary path while using a mixture of new-born methods in the digital realm. My latest exhibitions included a panorama of digital art prints enhanced with vivid layers of augmented reality and supported by some video projections they made a smooth transition to my 360° VR art installation content. Mind-expanding visions and offering a glimpse behind the increasingly becoming transparent veil form the common thread throughout my oeuvre. I could ramble on for hours about being inspired by the many great path clearing dreamers, visionaries and philosophers, pioneers and shamans , writers, musicians and artists who all used the same kind of mental tools to connect the dots in this quite mystical world. My works are an attempt to translate these culture-bridging and world-unifying psychedelic experiences into a recognizable and soul-touching visual inner language. And thus with not only the goal to inspire spine chilling awe but to go beyond and pierce through the self generated mirror-world and stay connected directly to the source. "We are One."

I'm Hopi, I'm an artist from Ukraine. Since childhood I've been painting, for me it's a special world without rules where you can create anything you want. I drew quite strange and surreal paintings. So I also did graffiti, which was for me a great opportunity to be free and create something wonderful. I create psychedelic art that takes ideas from the depths of human nature. I am constantly creating and always experimenting always staying in the flow and development of my inner being. What I create can vary in content and subject matter, one of the goals of art is to create things that are deeper in their content and law than what is generally known to most. That is, to explore an understanding of the world and human nature through the sensations and structures of constructions which at the moment have no form in the world in which they could be applied.
