Artist Statement

Dmitrii Zimakov
contemporary artist
My artistic practice develops in two directions
— sculpture and painting, united by a common theme:
the materialization of the invisible.
Sculpture. I materialize emotions and non-verbal connection between
people. I use concrete, glass, and metal as "words" for
talking about intimacy. The result is objects that become
silent witnesses of our feelings.
Painting. I explore strategies of survival and
self-identification through nature metaphors (project "Flora
and Fauna"). Stylistically, I am at the intersection of street art
and surrealism.
I create objects that continue these stories. The result of
my work is the creation of artifacts that can continue the viewer's
personal story
