In the realm of art, the fusion of the past and present is undeniably intriguing. Artists often blend historical elements with contemporary influences to create their unique works of art. With this in mind, we asked Alexey about his perspective on the relationship between the past and present in his art and what he believes his work can teach us. In response, the artist shared, “I believe it’s important for everyone to have an understanding of the past, especially the history that has had a significant impact on our present. This knowledge allows us to acknowledge where we are now and gives us the ability to move forward from this point.”

Alexey’s work frequently incorporates humor and irony through the juxtaposition of classical characters and scenes within unexpected contemporary contexts. According to the artist, “Humor is a way to uncover one’s differences, unique qualities, or weaknesses. And it requires a certain bravery.” He goes on to explain, “When you identify your weaknesses through humor, it becomes easier to accept them or make the decision to improve yourself. For me, humor is a means of embracing reality in an amusing and light-hearted manner.”

“This artwork is about understanding and feeling war in your home. It’s hard to imagine it. No one wants to think about it, everyone thinks that they have a lucky ticket in life. And it’s easy to stay away if you don’t know what war is and you just get tired of seeing the news. Unfortunately, only those who have seen the war can truly understand.The photograph was taken near Lukyanivska metro station, which is near the center of Kyiv. A Russian missile hit the civilian house early morning on March 15.”
