Welcome To Sergey Vasilyev's World!

I am very interested in the creation of new abstract forms - variations in technique, advances in craftsmanship, unusual patches of colour, etc. Sometimes I introduce, here and there, something representational, a plant or an animal. There are colours and magical forms which, the moment they are seen and represented, already carry a meaning. They do not require a solution, only intuitive and emotional penetration. Such is the goal, though unreachable, that I try to reach in my painting.

Sergey Vasilyev

In Sergey Vasilyev’s paintings construction and graphic style are of the essence. The arrangement of colours is carefully thought through. The artist adopts generalised formulae, translating them into conventional signs which, in association, determine the painting’s symbolic meaning. He thereby reveals a kind of meditative state, and his work, which is full of imagination and fantasy, acquires a lyrical and dream-like quality. He is inventive in his handling of paint, subordinating the general to the particular, and organically linking movement and stasis. His inner self is always in harmony with the outside world, giving the spectator enormous scope for interpreting his abstract compositions.
