Vergangenheit - past,
Bewaltigung - mastering process of coming to terms with the past.

Visual study of architectural and historical aspects of an abandoned theatre.

Time is a powerful instrument of nature: it has slowly peeled man-painted murals; penetrated velvet curtains with mold and made this theatre into a grand home for homeless creatures. Time speaks of former glories that now are just echos.

BLUE ORANGE

Illustration and animation.

Sound by Rui Abrunheiro.

This series concentrates on capturing fleeing moments in which I explore childlike imagination in a theme of natural landscape.

Origin of the idea is based on spending summers in Russian countryside, searching and studying, I found small animals and plants to be mesmerizing.

With exploration of two complimentary hues only, this series preserves familiar motif of innocence; eternal blue skies and bright orange sun.

Beneath The Olive Tree_2.mov

Creative direction and animation for Beneath The Olive Tree (2015) film.

TURNPIKE

Dash-cam footage of my commute around New York area, turned into a fun short accompanied by They Might Be Giants bit.

Shot with an iPhone. Composited in After Effects.

TALIA'S DACHA

Video, archival photographs, animation.

Talia’s Dacha touches Russian phenomena of importance of “return to the soil” in the historical perspective as well as cultural.

PYGMALION

Dedicated to Richard McDermott Miller “The Figure Sculptor of SoHo” (1922-2004)

The inspiration for this piece came to me as I was modeling for Richard McDermott Miller, the Figurative Sculptor of SoHo. Posing for hours gave me much to think about re-telling the myth of Pygmalion. I was stirred by the mysterious sculptures as they stood still and the timeless idea of maker and his creation. What might happen if the creation is no longer tied to its maker?
Film shot in Richards studio.

NINETY ONE

Archival footage, edit and composite.

NINETY ONE is an exploration of cultural and economic evolution of early 90s in the Soviet Union, through recollection of childhood memories.

BURGEONING SENESCE

Archival footage, edit, compositing.
Collaboration with Michelle Mumoli.

Burgeoning - to grow and flourish, senesce - to grow old.

This is an experimental narrative short interweaving hand drawn animation, found home movie footage and video. This piece deals with notions of womanhood and issues of how time takes its toll on women's bodies, hearts and minds.

Using animation and montage, we treated this short as a "combine" sequential paintings, creating multiple layers of artifice, fleeting dreams and thoughts.
