Piece description from the artist
I'm trying to make a connection between traditional approach of renaissance and contemporary drawings, by using allegories from renaissance, such are books, candles, skulls, sand watches, etc. By transposing this symbols of vanity, I depict the same scenes in contemporary world – sand watch is replaced with mechanical one, candles are replaced with electric light, books with Kindle. It is was interesting to conduct such experiment.

His work is mainly based on exploring human body and the aesthetics of it, as they manifest in the phenomena of beauty, via drawings an paintings. His most notable influences are artists from renaissance, whose ideals he uses and transpose them into contemporary discourse, using fashion models as the main subject of his works.
