About PAVS

Pavel Sipkin, or PAVS (b. 1988), is a Tokyo-based architect and contemporary conceptual artist. His artistic practice explores the intersection of urban form and metaphysical inquiry, drawing from his architectural background to inform both structure and meaning. Through his work, Sipkin merges hyperreal precision with surreal undertones, creating visual narratives that elevate the overlooked minutiae of daily life into something extraordinary. His pieces often reflect a tension between the built environment and the ephemeral, encouraging viewers to reconsider the spaces they inhabit. PAVS’s unique visual language blurs boundaries between reality and imagination, architecture and art.
