    In the studio with my latest artworks

    Over the last month, I have been working on modifying old soviet-era oil portraits of Lenin. In my art project, I try to overcome my country’s traumatic historical experience by recycling propaganda artifacts from the soviet evil empire. It would be wrong to destroy the numerous images that had been left after the collapse of the USSR. People need to remember the lessons of history to avoid repeating past mistakes. I want my recycled Lenins to be more than just colorful pieces of art. Instead, they should serve as a reminder and a warning never to give political power to fanatics and mad people.
