Ambassador of Peace: Spreading Harmony and Unity
"Art is the heart speaking a language that doesn't need words."
Mark Rothko
«At the Sunset of the Day»
oil on canvas, 80x60cm
«As the day gracefully yields to the horizon, the wistful embrace of twilight evokes a profound introspection. In the quiet descent of the sun, we are enveloped in a bittersweet reverie for the fleeting moments of the past. Yet, amidst the fading light, a whispered promise lingers in the air – tomorrow beckons with the allure of endless possibilities, a canvas waiting to be painted anew.»
«Fire and Ice»
oil on canvas, 60x50cm
«In the juxtaposition of our icy exterior – cold and cloaked in shades of dark blue – lies a deceptive facade that belies the passionate blaze that engulfs our hearts. Amidst the frosty veneer, an untamed flame burns fiercely within, illuminating the depths of our being with an intensity that defies the chill of outward appearances. We are a union of contradictions, a symphony of fire and ice, where love blazes with an undeniable passion beneath the surface.»
«Serenity»
oil on canvas, 60x50cm
«In the embrace of ‘Serenity,’ as we behold this picturesque panorama and gaze upon the sublime mountains, we are enveloped in a profound sense of harmony and awe in the presence of nature’s magnificence… We come to the realization that this timeless vista has endured for countless eons. Long before the inception of cities, nations, civilization, and humanity itself… Our existence, fleeting and ephemeral in comparison to the enduring lives of these mountains, is but a transient flicker, a mere moment in time. Thus, should we squander it on futile fears and anxieties, destined to be swept away by the relentless winds of time, leaving no trace behind?»
Enjoy life... that's what we're here for.
David Faustino
«Sadness»
oil on canvas, 60x50cm
«In moments of melancholy, we find ourselves descending deeper into the abyss of sorrow. It envelops the world around us, painting it in shades of gray and monotony. Yet, amidst this somber exterior, we must remember that our inner essence remains vibrant and resplendent with hues of color. Ans we should always remember that even in the darkest of nights, a ray of light pierces through, offering hope and solace amidst the gloom.»
«Love was here»
oil on canvas, 60x50cm
Due to modern propaganda, which masks such great values as freedom, independence, and equality, we are moving in the completely opposite direction. Like all great dictators hiding behind beautiful slogans, we see that concepts are being replaced, and we are being manipulated so strongly and covertly that we don’t even realize we are digging our own grave. The art of manipulation has reached its peak. Our personal lives have never been as public and controlled as they are now. Our devices monitor our every action.
Equality? Is equality about sameness? We are deprived of individuality so that it is easier to sell the same product and control us. We are turning into an identical mass, even without racial and gender features.
Is freedom about debauchery? Can the quantity and variety of sexual partners replace intimacy with a loved one?
Is independence about abandoning family values? By rejecting men, women become dependent on the state and the labor market, and they lack time to raise their children. And who takes care of raising their child? The phone? And what kind of information is being fed into the child’s mind through the phone?
By diverting our attention to the fight for artificially created social and political problems, we are distracted from the terrible things happening right under our noses. Under the great slogans, we are rushing towards the abyss, and the result is completely opposite to freedom. Total enslavement and control of all humanity.
Now we are almost deprived of the most important thing in life, the reason why life was created in the first place, the source and meaning of this life. We are losing Love… because love is power, love is the answer… love and can a strong society be controlled?
And perhaps future generations will not even know what it is and how it feels… because they will be raised by cold parents or artificially created nannies… Maybe then we truly belong in virtual reality, married to artificial intelligence and having artificial children? But will humans be needed at all?
"The pain of a broken heart may seem unbearable, but it is through this pain that we learn to appreciate the beauty of love and the fragility of the human heart."

«Butterflies in my head»

«In the realm of ‘butterflies in my head,’ there lies a sanctuary where freedom and joy intertwine harmoniously. It is a blissful escape, a respite from the burdens of overthinking. To allow oneself the luxury of simply basking in the presence of butterflies fluttering about, bringing with them a sense of lightness and delight. In these moments of tranquility, the mind is unburdened by worries, free to revel in the sheer beauty of the present moment. Embrace the whimsy of butterflies dancing in your thoughts, granting yourself the gift of unbridled happiness and liberation from all else. Let this imagery paint a canvas of serenity and contentment, where the only task at hand is to savor the fleeting magic of the here and now.»
"Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
Nathaniel Hawthorne

The World of Wild Cats
In my forthcoming trio of artworks, I shall delve into the profound realm of the «world of wild cats.» Much like a wild feline stealthily pursues its prey, we, too, embark on a relentless quest for emotional fervors. At times akin to chasing a diminutive mouse, we ardently pursue fleeting, yet alluring passions. Occasionally, we gaze apathetically upon realizing that our pursuit is but a transient soap bubble, unworthy of our vigor. And yet, there are moments when we luxuriate triumphantly atop our conquest, unveiling to the world the essence of true victory.
"In the realm of fleeting wishes, we dance with the magic of the moment and surrender to the joy of the ephemeral."
"Searching for love"
Wood veneers, 180x100cm
Love… Love… how are we without it? But where has it gotten lost? We have completely forgotten where it has hidden. Ooo !!! I found decision!!! Let’s dissect the heart into pieces for sure it somewhere inside.»
«This serves as a metaphor for how excessive intervention and deep knowledge of a process can cause irreparable damage in emotional development. True feelings are always about spontaneity, sincerity and mystery. Excessive contemplation and analysis kill the emotion… it perishes… melting away like snow under the sun’s rays. Because sometimes it’s so nice just to feel.»
